Hilary Duff has confirmed the birth of her third child – daughter Mae James Bair – just hours after hinting she had become a mum for the third time.
The actress, 33, has one other child – daughter Banks Violet Bair, 2 – with husband Matthew Koma, as well as Luca Cruz Comrie, eight, with ex-husband Mike Comrie.
She originally shared the exciting news of her pregnancy in October last year.
Hilary posted the update with an adorable black-and-white picture of her family, with Hilary still in the birthing pool.
In it, she cradles the newest addition in her arms, supported by Mae’s older sister Banks.
Son Luca and husband Matthew look on, while Matthew touches Hilary’s hair in what looks like awe.
Hilary revealed Mae was born on Wednesday with the caption: “We LOVE you beauty 3-24-21”.
She posted another picture to her Instagram story of the little one, with the caption “Mae Mae”.
The Lizzie McGuire star appeared to be holding her baby girl close.
And another full colour snap showed Mae’s tiny feet.
Hilary also shared another picture of her with striking blue hair, cradling Mae in her arms, and added: “Inhaling all of this…”
And fans hearts melted at the picture of big brother Luca sitting on the bed with newborn Mae.
Hilary wrote: “Can’t keep his hands off of her… best big bro (ahhh my heart)”.
Big sister Banks also featured, with the caption: “Big sis has been enjoying all the treats” as the adorable youngster clutches an iced cupcake.
Fans clamoured to congratulate the actress, with fellow ex- Disney star Ashley Tisdale among the first.
She posted: “This photo (two heart emojis) congrats beautiful”.
Singer Ashlee Simpson also showed Hilary and Mae her love, writing: “So beautiful! Congratulations!!”
Others penned: “Oh huge congratulations to all of you!”
And someone else said: “Congratulations mama!!!”
A third fan wrote: “WEEPING but also here with the smelling salts if anyone needs”.
Hilary originally announced her pregnancy back in October 2020, with a cute clip of her hubby Matthew rubbing her growing baby bump.
“We are growing!!!” she posted. “Mostly me…”
