    Vanessa White has given birth to her first child

    The Saturdays singer, 36, took to Instagram on Tuesday to reveal she has welcomed a baby boy, Sage Remi-Bisaya Lawal, into the world.


    She shared several pictures of herself holding her little one, and added the caption: "our darling boy, Sage Remi-Bisaya Lawal [blue heart emoji] (sic)"

    All four of Vanessa's The Saturdays bandmates took to social media to congratulate the star and her fiancé, DJ Emmanuel Lawal.

    Frankie Bridge posted: "Awww congrats babe."

    Rochelle Humes wrote: "The best news [blue heart emoji] all that hair"

    Una Healy commented: "Congratulations Ness, so beautiful"

    Mollie King also admitted she is "so happy" for Vanessa.

    She wrote: "Oh my love, just the best!! So happy for you!! He's so lucky to have you as his mama (sic)"

    Several other stars also rushed to congratulate Vanessa on her new arrival, and some gushed over the little one's full head of hair.

    JLS singer J.B. Gill commented: "Congratttttts Vanessa!! Beautiful news (sic)"

    Pussycat Dolls star Ashley Roberts posted: "V!! This is amazing. Congrats gorgeous one. That hair hunni [heart emojis] so happy for you"

    Sugababes singer Mutya Buena shared: "Congrats sis"

    TV presenter Lisa Snowdon wrote: "Oh yay! Huge HUGE congratulations"

    Vanessa took to Instagram last November to reveal she was both pregnant and engaged.

    She stunned fans when she took to social media to share a series of photos showing off her baby bump and diamond ring from Emmanuel, who she first started dating in 2020.

    Vanessa captioned the post: "There's a V and E in love (sic)"

    The couple first sparked dating rumours in August 2020 when they were seen together in Marbella, Spain.

    They made their relationship Instagram official in December that year, but went their separate ways in 2023 after "growing apart".

    At the time of their break-up, a source told The Sun newspaper: "Vanessa and Emmanuel struck up a relationship during lockdown and quickly got close.

    "At one point they were getting serious.

    "They spent all their time together, and went on loads of glamorous holidays.

    "It seemed like a match made in heaven.

    "But earlier this year they began to grow apart and decided to go their separate ways.

    "Vanessa has been throwing herself back into music and spending time in the studio, pouring her feelings into creativity."

    However, they reconciled after almost a year apart.
