Malin Andersson gives birth to a baby girl

Malin Andersson has given birth to a baby girl.

The former Love Island star, 29, and her boyfriend Jared announced the happy news in a statement to MailOnline on Thursday morning.

Malin welcomed her little one – whose name is yet to be announced – on her due date last Friday, three years after the tragic death of her daughter Consy.

A spokesperson for Malin, said: ‘We are super excited to share that Malin gave birth to a healthy baby girl last Friday 28th January on her due date. 

‘She and her partner are completely in love and are taking this time as a family to enjoy the baby bubble but she cant wait to share more with everyone soon.’

Last week, Malin was glowing as she celebrated reaching ‘full term’ in her pregnancy in a uplifting post shared on social media.

She posed in her underwear as she proudly displayed her bump and smiled widely for the camera, ahead of her baby shower.

Malin looked stunning as she went fresh faced and held up a peace sign wearing the black two piece set, with her blooming bump taking centre stage. 

Alongside the sweet snap, the clearly elated star penned: ‘I MADE IT!!! I’m full term, 37 weeks.. and my baby shower is today.’

The reality TV was in very high spirits as she revealed that she had reached the milestone ahead of her special day.

Aw! The former Love Island star, 29, and her boyfriend Jared announced the happy news in a statement to MailOnline on Thursday morning 

This comes as Malin admitted that her ‘nerves’ have begun to kick in as her due date approaches and she paid tribute to her late daughter Consy on what would have been her third birthday.

In 2019 Consy died at just four weeks old after being born seven weeks premature.

Sharing a black and white snap of herself and Jared cradling her growing baby bump on Instagram on Wednesday, Malin reflected on her ‘magical Christmas’ as she told how she was ‘living in the moment.

She wrote: ‘I haven’t posted on here for almost a week – reason being my heart is so full…

‘I’ve had the most magical Christmas, I don’t think I’ve had one like this since my mum was around. I didn’t wanna use my phone or even look at it, I just wanted to live in the moment.’ 

The star then turned to her daughter’s upcoming birth, with Malin admitting she’s nervous as the weeks slip by. 

She explained: ‘I hit 36 weeks on Friday & even though I’m becoming more slower with less energy (and she’s dropped, LOADS!) – I couldn’t be more content.  

‘Her due date is approaching… and so are my nerves. Any advice for the final weeks of pregnancy guys?? HELP.’

Her loyal fans soon flooded her post with messages of support and tips and advice for the expectant mother. 

Malin previously suffered heartache when her first child, Consy, died at just four weeks old in 2019.

Ahead of the impending birth of her second daughter earlier this month, Malin penned an emotional post about losing her baby girl on Instagram.

Posting some pictures of the baby as she fought for her life on the newborn intensive care unit, Malin wrote: ’22/01/19. Today – your heart stopped beating for me.

‘I could feel you whisper in my ear that you wanted to live pain free, and that your end of time was near. One last glance you gave me, and then you were gone.’

She added: ‘My baby was in an incubator, tubed up, a monitor screen was the only communication I could have with her to see how she was coping.

‘She wasn’t just born, then slowly drifted away. She was alive for a month fighting to live – and that’s what you don’t see. This tiny human having more strength in her than me. A painful long fight to survive.

‘She was swollen from all the medication, bruised from the tubing. At one point she had to have fluid released from her body. Oxygen machines to help her breathe.

‘You see… Baby loss is also about the JOURNEY to losing. The trauma. The pain. The PTSD from pretty much living in the hospital every day, hearing the beeping sound of the heart rate monitor. From being next to them every second.

‘Looking for hope. Clinging onto the only hope you have. Wanting for an answer.

Open: In a lengthy post, Malin detailed the final moments before her baby girl’s death, and said she’s ‘celebrating the fight she had in her’

‘It lives with you forever, as well as the loss.. so today I’m celebrating the fight she had in her. The courage you don’t get to see.. her precious little soul – fighting to be free.

‘Sending love to those that have lost – I hope your healing journey to finding yourself again is imminent. I pray that you release the trauma and heavy sadness that leaves you with with an empty heart.

‘You will find life again, a way out.. and hope.

‘That love they gave you will always remain, and you’ll find more of it too. RIP baby girl.’ 

Malin lost her mother, Consy-Gloria, to stomach cancer aged 65 in November 2017 and her father passed away from skin cancer 26 years ago.

Malin wrote: ‘Staring up at the sky with a huge smile on my face because I know she’s coming soon, and the ones above are protecting her all the way through.’

Consy was born seven weeks premature in December 2018 and was being treated at Great Ormond Street hospital, but sadly passed away aged four weeks on 22 January 2019.
