Leona announced she had given birth earlier this month, after taking a few days to settle in as a family of three.

Posting on Instagram, she told her 744,000 followers: “And then there were three. Our little Carmel Allegra arrived 22.7.22.”

The arrival of their daughter comes three years after 37-year-old Leona and Dennis, 33, tied the knot.

Leona and Dennis started dating back in 2010 after falling for each other when he was a backing dancer for the chart topping star.

They swapped vows in front of friends and family at a lavish ceremony in Tuscany, Italy, in July 2019 with 180 guests watching the pair say ‘I do’ in the grounds of a luxury vineyard.

Talking to OK! magazine before the wedding Leona, called Dennis her “rock.”

The Islington-born singer said: “We're so ready to do this. Dennis is the most kind, considerate person I've ever met.”

Dennis also shared a heartfelt message to his wife-to-be on social media at the time, describing her as “the most beautiful woman I ever got to lay eyes on”.

The pair got engaged in 2018, when Dennis popped the question during a romantic break in Puerto Rico.

Sharing the happy news, Leona wrote: “@dennisjauch I can’t wait to be your wife. Eeek wife! What?! Argh! Hahaha I still can’t believe it. I dreamed you up and you came true. The most caring, kindhearted and inspiring person I’ve had the privilege to know. Now let’s go have a big ol’ partyyyyy."

In March this year, rumours emerged that the duo would become parents for the first time.

Shortly after, the singing sensation confirmed the news, posing on Instagram in a figure hugging black dress which proudly showed off her growing baby bump.

She captioned the image with the words: “Can’t wait to meet you in the Summer” alongside a red heart emoji.
