‘Me and Jared have been in the most beautiful, surreal baby bubble and so I took a month out to just focus on our family.’
Malin revealed Xaya was born via emergency c-section and described it as a ‘bittersweet experience’ as surgeons used the same scar from when she gave birth to her late daughter Consy.
In 2019 Consy died at just four weeks old after being born seven weeks premature.
She explained: ‘I ended up having an emergency c-section with her, they took her out of the same scar Consy came from.. that was a bittersweet experience for me which I needed to take in after.

‘I can’t even describe the amount of love she has given us, and how it feels to be a mum again – but to a healthy baby. I look at her and I have to pinch myself..
‘She’s the spit of her dad, and is covered in black thick hair (I’m jealous.)
‘Thank-you for all of your messages, it’s been overwhelming – you guys have really followed my journey and I’m in awe of all of your support.
‘We are sending you all so much love,’ she signed off.
Malin welcomed her little one on her due date, three years after the tragic death of her daughter Consy.
