Billie Kate Judd was born just after midday on Saturday, weighing in at 7lbs 4ozs (3.3kgs). She arrived a week ahead of her official due date, with Rebecca sharing the couple’s happy news via Instagram, with a picture of Billie’s birth card, simply captioned “Princess Time”.
A second photo of Rebecca and Billie, both dressed in grey, was added to the proud parents’ Instagram accounts later that night.
The new arrival joins the couple’s first child, son Oscar, who was born in July 2011.
The model and lifestyle blogger, who recently celebrated her 31st birthday, has been sharing poolside pictures of her bump with friends and fans in a series of bikini snaps as her due date approached. Pictured in one shot wearing a green bikini and fedora hat, Rebecca wrote on Instagram, “Wouldn’t mind sharing my birthday with bub #getoutplease.”
Rebecca had revealed to readers of her lifestyle blog in late January that she hoped the baby would come early. “My obstetrician said, ‘if your baby was any lower in your pelvis it would be out. It could not be any more engaged than it is’,” she said.
Rebecca first made headlines around the country when she accompanied Chris to the 2004 Brownlow Medal wearing a revealing red dress. The couple married in an elegant New Year’s Eve ceremony in 2010.
