Ms Rachel flooded with well wishes after secretly welcoming daughter via surrogate

Ms Rachel has welcomed a baby via surrogate, and fans have flooded her post with well wishes.

The YouTube megastar, 42, known for her catchy children’s songs, announced the happy news yesterday on Instagram.

Posting a sweet pic with her baby, she wrote that her little one was called Susannah, and that she couldn’t “carry this pregnancy for medical reasons”.

“We welcomed sweet baby Susannah into the world,” she told her 2.6million followers.

“We are so in love!

“Sometimes timing isn’t what you plan and the road to get there is bumpier than you expect, but when you hold your little ones you know… I’m meant to be your mama.

“I was unable to carry this pregnancy for medical reasons and we were blessed to have a surrogate who gave us the most precious gift possible.”

She concluded her post, saying thanks to her surrogate and her husband, Aron.

“We are now all family forever,” she continued.

“We have immense gratitude and a deep bond. It’s been a truly beautiful experience. I’m in awe of her.

“Aron - Thank you for being the best husband and dada!”

Her post has been commented on hundreds of times by fans, with actress Jennifer Garner also sending her love.

“Congratulations, Rachel!!!! And my little sister is Susannah, it’s the most beautiful name. I’m so happy for your family,” she wrote, alongside red heart emojis.

Another said: “Congratulations! She couldn’t have a better role model in this life than you. What a gift to share your humanity, compassion and empathy with the next generation. Thank you for all that you do.”

And another added: “Congrats, she’s so perfect. Thrilled you and your husband have the opportunity to be the best parents ever.”

Ms Rachel already has a child named Thomas, who was born in 2018.

She started her YouTube channel - Songs For Littles - when her son was diagnosed with a speech delay.

Fans had been waiting for videos for Ms Rachel, as before the announcement, she hadn’t posted any new YouTube content in two months.

She had told followers the reason she hadn’t been posting as she had “family issues” to attend to.
