Typing the name out phonetically, Malin revealed the name is pronounced as: “Zay-ah .”
The influencer and campaigner also opened up about Xaya’s birth in January, where she was delivered by a c-section.
Malin explained it was a “bittersweet” moment following the death of her first child, Consy, in January 2019 after she was born seven weeks premature.
“I ended up having an emergency c-section with [Xaya],” Malin wrote. “They took her out of the same scar Consy came from.. that was a bittersweet experience for me which I needed to take in after.”
Malin's 744,000 followers were quick to celebrate the baby reveal, with Geordie Shore star Holly Hagan writing: “Congratulations babe sending love.”
Love Island alum Rykard Jenkins added: “Congratulations to you and your beautiful family.”
And Tracy Beaker star Dani Harmer sent her warm wishes: “Huge congratulations!”
