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."

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