Alexandra Burke has revealed that she has given birth to her first child with boyfriend Darren Randolph.

The 33-year-old former X Factor winner-turned-West End star confirmed the happy news on social media on Monday.

Taking to social media, Burke gave fans a first glimpse of the new addition by sharing an adorable picture of their feet.

“Welcome to the world our little grape,” she wrote alongside the snap. “We already love you more than words can say.”

The Bad Boys singer’s celebrity friends rushed to congratulate her in the comments section.

Leading the tributes was JLS star Oritsé Williams, who competed against Burke in the 2008 series of the ITV singing competition.

“Congrats Al,” he penned, followed by a heart-eyes emoji.

“Congratulations mama, all the best,” wrote Strictly Come Dancing judge Motsi Mabuse along with a red heart emoji.

“Congratulations to you both,” added singer Dionne Bromfield.

The former Strictly Come Dancing star did not disclose her child’s name or gender or give any other details about the birth.

Burke and West Ham goalkeeper Randolph, 35, first announced that they were expecting a child together on Valentine’s Day.

The couple are believed to have been dating since May 2021.
