Congratulations are in order for Made in Chelsea stars Maeva D'Ascanio and her fiancé James Taylor, who have welcomed their first child.

On Instagram yesterday (December 1), Maeva announced the arrival of son Beau Christian Taylor, sharing a sweet video of her in hospital holding the newborn, who weighed in at 9lbs 9oz.

Maeva wrote: "Welcoming the last 9 months and 11 days into our lives this morning was everything and more than we could have ever hoped for.

"I’m so happy I’ve now met you my little roast. @jamestaylorldn is going to be the best daddy ever."

Maeva went on to share that she was induced on Sunday and after trying to achieve a virginal birth, she and her doctors decided that a Caesarean section was the safest option.

James also took to Instagram to share the happy news alongside photos of him and Maeva holding baby Beau.

He wrote: "I’m pretty proud of this. Very well done for enduring that experience @maevadascanio now we have our little boy and bonne chance to us".

Maeva and James became engaged in May, after James popped the question to his long-time love during a romantic trip to Rome.

Meanwhile, Maeva recently played cupid for her fellow Made in Chelsea stars Sam Prince and Inga Valentiner.

The couple revealed they were back together in October, with Inga saying it was Maeva who convinced her to take the plunge with Sam.

"It was actually Maeva D'Ascanio who sort of played Cupid and said, 'You know what, if you really love someone, you're making a mistake by not being with them. You have to let go of the past and give it another try'," Inga said.

"So, I think that advice made me think twice. I followed my heart because she made me realise I could end up regretting it if I didn’t give it one more go."

Made in Chelsea airs on E4.
