Love Island star Montana Brown gives birth to first child

Former Love Island star Montana Brown has given birth to her first child - and has revealed his adorable name.

The 27-year-old shared the happy news that she and partner Mark O’Connor were expecting back in December, sharing a cute video that showed highlights of the early stages of her pregnancy - including the moment they found she was pregnant and attending their first scan.

Posting the video to Instagram on Christmas Eve last year, Montana included the caption: “Baby O’Connor coming next summer.”

Since then, Montana kept her fans in the loop about her pregnancy journey - including sharing details of her lavish baby shower with family and friends, which revealed they would be having a boy.

Earlier this week, Montana took to Instagram showing off her bump and begging her followers for ‘tips and tricks to get this rascal out’ - and it seems that it worked as she’s now shared the first photo of her newborn son.

In a post on Instagram showing a black and white snap of the newborn cuddling into his mum, Montana wrote: “Welcome to the world Jude Isaiah O’Connor. We’re so smitten with you little man 23.06.23.”

The post has since been flooded with messages of congratulations from Montana’s friends and fans.

Vicky Pattison wrote: “Congratulations beautiful girl.”

Mum-to-be Laura Anderson commented: “Well done superstar.”

Gabby Allen wrote: How beautiful. Congratulations I hope you’re both doing well xxxx”

New mum and fellow Love Island alumni Molly-Mae Hague wrote: “Oh wow congratulations Mon.”

And Danielle Lloyd said: “Wow he is beautiful. Congratulations babe and well done, love you.”

It’s been a year of big celebrations for the loved-up couple, who announced they were engaged back in April.

Sharing a slew of snaps showcasing her huge diamond engagement ring, Montana wrote: “Stuck with me now… HA. Also only Mark would wear a hoodie on engagement day.”

Montana has previously revealed the relationship began during the second lockdown, when she wasn’t looking’.

Speaking to new! magazine, Montana revealed: "Mine and Mark’s relationship was born out of the second lockdown. I feel like good things always come when you are not expecting it.

"It's been lovely to feel in a good headspace. Last year I convinced myself that I didn’t want to meet anyone - I'd be on my own forever instead, but he came along when I wasn’t looking."
