Darius and the couple’s daughter Willow, who turned four a week earlier and always hoped for a sister, were by Kayla’s side.
Originally due in October, Kayla went to hospital late Friday after her water broke at home in Brisbane.
She joked last week that she hoped the baby “stays put” in time for her scheduled appearance with Darius at the Dally M Awards in Sydney on Wednesday.
“Long night ahead but I’m so excited,” she wrote to Instagram from the hospital in the early hours on Saturday.
She shared an image of the baby girl by her bedside on Saturday afternoon.
The couple were yet to reveal the baby’s name, which they picked out early on in the pregnancy.
They announced they were expecting their second child in April having conceived naturally after 18 months of trying and a failed round of IVF.
