Love Island star welcomes first child with ex Gary Lucy"},"content":{"rendered":"

Former Love Island star Laura Anderson, 34, has given birth to a baby girl.<\/p>\n

The reality star, who shared her pregnancy journey exclusively with OK!<\/b>, shared the happy news that she had welcomed her daughter, named Bonnie Rose Lucy Anderson. <\/p>\n

Laura shared an adorable snap of her ex Gary Lucy holding the tiny newborn who was wrapped in blankets and wore a sweet pink hat. <\/p>\n

In the caption, Laura wrote as if it was Bonnie introducing herself, whilst she revealed that she, Laura, was 'hurt' during labour.<\/p>\n

The caption read: Hi everyone, my name is Bonnie Rose Lucy Anderson.<\/p>\n

"I was born 02\/09\/23 at 06.03am and weighed 6.10lbs My Mummy & Daddy are sooooo happy and in love with me, this is our first week together.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

"I\u2019m sorry it\u2019s taken me some time to introduce myself, I hurt my mummy a little bit and scared my daddy too (oops) we\u2019re all now recovering well at home." <\/p>\n

The post ended with: "Please don\u2019t question My Mummy & Daddy on their relationship- This.. is all about me."<\/p>\n

Laura then deleted the post.<\/p>\n

This is the first child for Laura, while her Hollyoaks star ex has four children, India, Elvis, Sadie and Theodore, with ex wife Natasha.<\/p>\n

Gary and Laura shared their happy baby news in February with an Instagram video of her showing off her blossoming baby bump alongside the caption: "Our hearts are full. Baby Lucy due Summer \u201923.\u201d<\/p>\n

Just days after the announcement the couple confirmed they were no longer in a relationship, with Gary, 41, stating: "I love Laura but we are no longer together.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

"My main drive as always is to work together to co-parent our child. I look forward to the arrival of the new baby.\u201d<\/p>\n

Laura later broke her silence on the breakup, telling us: "It\u2019s been a bit of a rollercoaster so far," she said. "Going through a public break-up while pregnant and reading mistruths in the media has been a challenge.<\/p>\n

"I just want to be positive and move forward, and I'm really excited about her coming along. I think if I can get through this, I can get through anything."<\/p>\n

Laura added: "I wanted us to reconcile and I wanted things to work out.<\/p>\n

"But because of things I found out since then, and the fact nothing has been discussed or resolved, I think for now I'm trying to just be positive and think about the baby and be strong, because everything became too chaotic."<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The pair met while both looking for love on Celebs Go Dating, shortly after Laura's split from ex Dane Bowers.<\/p>\n

A source at the time said: "Gary and Laura were all over each other during breaks from filming. They kept going off on their own and it was obvious they were hooking up.<\/p>\n

"They're going to go on some proper dates when they're back in the UK."<\/p>\n

Gary was previously married to actress Natasha Gray, with the pair calling time on their four year marriage back in 2018.<\/p>\n

Laura, meanwhile, previously dated Another Level's Dane on and off, both prior and following her stint on Love Island in 2018.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The couple rekindled their romance in 2021, with Laura moving over to Dubai to live with Dane.<\/p>\n

During her appearance on Celebs Go Dating, Laura broke down in tears as she revealed her desire to become a mum, stating that she thought Dane was "the one".<\/p>\n

"I think my most recent break-up was the biggest in my life because it was so serious," she told the camera, as she started to cry.<\/p>\n

"I thought that he was 'the one'. We were trying for a baby. I'm quite fresh out of a relationship, if I'm honest, which I thought was my life partner," she said.<\/p>\n

"We were planning a lot together and it didn't work out. I'm not really sure where I'm going wrong."<\/p>\n
