Selling Sunset's Maya Vander has welcomed a baby girl after suffering a devastating miscarriage and stillbirth.
Only a few days ago, the mum-of-two told The US Sun that she is '9 months pregnant' and 'expecting a baby girl any day now'.

In a statement to the news outlet, Maya said: "I am 9 months pregnant and I'm expecting a baby girl any day now.
"It's exciting, but also this time around I have more fears and more concerns given the last circumstances."
That came after Maya suffered two devastating baby losses, after her son, Mason, was stillborn at 38 weeks in December 2021.
Just six months later, she miscarried while ten weeks pregnant, telling her fans in a subsequent Instagram story not 'take things for granted'.

This explains the reasoning as to why Maya didn't announce her pregnancy earlier, as she told The Sun: "I kept quiet on social media because I lost a baby when I was nine months pregnant in the past."
She continued: "I know it's hard to understand why I would bother to get pregnant again, but I had a huge void to fill. I stayed calm and positive.
"I'm very lucky and thankful for my kids. It was just something that was missing. No one expects to lose a child and give birth to a stillborn.

"I hope my story will inspire other women going through any loss."
Maya and her husband Dave Miller are already parents to son Aiden, four, and daughter Elle, three - but now a third child has joined the family.
Maya took to Instagram on Thursday (11 May) to announce she has welcomed a healthy baby girl, who she has named Emma Reign.
Captioning a photo of herself, husband and newborn in the hospital, the Selling Sunset star wrote: "This was a long 9 months as I kept my pregnancy as quiet as possible from social media.

"I gave birth few days ago and words can not express my sense of relief and happiness!"
She continued: "Thank you so much @femcareobgyn and Dr Senemar. Thank you to the amazing nurses at Baptist hospital.
"I will forever be grateful and yes I’m wearing a mask because of course I had the worse cold, but I made it to push a baby with full stuffy nose."

Many have flocked to the comment section of the Instagram post to react to the wonderful news.
Maya's Selling Sunset co-star Emma Hernan wrote: "BABY EMMA!!!! So in love and so happy for your family! Best mama ever!!"
Meanwhile, a fan added: "Aw this makes me so happy after her news last time."
