Sharing a picture of the baby's head, Victoria wrote: "Welcome to the world our beautiful little angel girl!
"Astra August Philbrick, May 5th 2025, 7lbs 5oz. You have already made us the happiest people on this planet."
Followers rushed to congratulate the parents following the birth of their second child.
One person posted: "Congratulations I love his name."
Another said: "Congratulations beautiful!"
A third wrote: "Huge Congratulations. So happy for you and your family."
Victoria and art gallery owner Inigo married last year, two months after his release from prison following an $80m art fraud.
In 2022, Inigo was jailed for seven years for masterminding a plot to defraud clients and fake documents.
The couple, who share three-year-old daughter Gaia Grace, said their vows after Inigo served just two years.
He was released to home detention curfew in New York - a scheme which sees culprits let go early from custody if they have a suitable address to go to.
According to MailOnline, their nuptials were a "quickie ceremony without guests".
In a telling comment, Victoria admitted: "Not the wedding that I've pictured since I was nine..."
The pair first met on a yacht in 2016.
Inigo was raised in America and, according to MailOnline, their married status will help "secure an American visa" for half-British and half-Australian Victoria.
Legal horror
Victoria was five months pregnant with their first child when Inigo was arrested in 2020.
The illegal arrangement saw Inigo, originally from Hackney in East London, buy and sell paintings by top artists like David Hockney for millions.
Yet his business - run from an art gallery in London's Mayfair - was a Ponzi scheme, where the same valuable masterpieces were sold several times over to different wealthy investors.
In 2019, he sold a painting of the artist Pablo Picasso at an auction in London, but the £5million price tag was not enough to pay off all those who thought they owned it.
He went on the run for six months before being tracked down by the FBI.
He was taken to a jail in Brooklyn - which was so brutal Victoria dared not take their daughter.
At the time, she said: 'He is in there with a guy on a quadruple homicide charge in his cell.'

Influencer is stabbed to death 'by cleaner who knifed her 20 times because she rejected his romantic advances'
A Brazilian book influencer was brutally stabbed to death in a food hall by a crazed cleaner who knifed her more than 20 times after she rejected him. Tais Bruna de Castro, 36, was eating her lunch in Beco Fino shopping centre in the neighbourhood of Jundiai, Sao Paolo, on Monday June 2, when a man approached her and launched his deadly attack on her. After stabbing Tais over 20 times, the knifeman, named as 40-year-old Claudio Elizeu, broke into an office and smashed windows and furniture, before police arrested him. Claudio, who worked as a cleaner in the shopping mall, told cops that he killed Tais because she was disinterest in a romantic relationship with him. They did not have a close friendship prior to the brutal killing, it is understood. Police continue to investigate influencer Marquez's murder under the country's femicide protocol, with her senseless killing being just another example of the high levels of gender-based violence in Latin America. Tais, who ran a reading blog called 'Reader Fashion', also worked as a travel agent in the shopping centre where she was tragically killed. The social media star's family said in a statement on her Instagram account, which boasts 8,311 followers: 'This week, our dear Tais Bruna, the owner of this profile, left us in a very sad and unbelievable way. 'Reader Fashion was one of her joys. Talking about literature, recommending new works and chatting with you made her day happier. 'We, her family, sincerely thank you for all the messages and prayers dedicated to her. 'Tais, we will love you forever.' Her callous killing is the latest in a spate of violence that has claimed the lives of Latin American influencers. Last month, a Colombian model and influencer was brutally shot dead by a hitman posing as a delivery driver. María José Estupiñán, 22, was shot at point-blank range as she stepped outside her home in Colombia's northeastern city of Cucuta on Thursday. Chilling CCTV footage captured from outside her home shows the moment that Estupiñán was struck, as gunshots can be heard ringing out in the background. The gunman can then be seen sprinting down the street, as the victim's mother screams in horror and desperately cries out: 'No, not my daughter!'. Also last month, a Mexican influencer was brutally murdered yesterday while live streaming to her followers after a motorbike-riding gunman opened fire on her salon. Footage showed the horrific moment 23-year-old TikToker and aesthetician Valeria Marquez was shot multiple times while broadcasting live from inside her beauty salon, Blossom the Beauty Lounge, in the western Mexican state of Jalisco. The video shows a smiling Valeria looking out of the window momentarily before bullets strike her once in the chest and twice in the head.

Reality TV legend's husband 'deported from US after being detained for 4 months'
A Real Housewives of Atlanta star's estranged husband has reportedly been deported from the US after months in an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention centre. Porsha Williams', 43, estranged husband Simon Guobadia, 61, is said to have been released from ICE custody and deported back to Nigeria, where the businessman was born. Guobadia is no longer listed on the US Department of Homeland Security system, which has details of all those in ICE custody. A friend and business partner of Guobadia's, Tai Savet, has said he is in 'good spirits' after a difficult four months in detention. Amid ongoing protests in Los Angeles over the government's immigration crackdown, Savet told Us Weekly that Guobadia isn't angry at President Donald Trump, but would like a sit-down meeting with him. The businessman was previously held at Stewart Detention Center in Lumpkin, Georgia, Us Weekly reported, during which his status was listed as 'in ICE custody', according to the US Department of Homeland Security's records. Real Housewives of Atlanta star Williams issued a statement when Guobadia was detained in February, amid her ongoing divorce proceedings with him. 'It's disheartening to see my estranged husband make choices that have led to this outcome. At this moment, my priority is moving forward with my family,' she wrote on Instagram. Guobadia moved to the US in 1982 but reportedly overstayed his visa and was deported in 1992, local outlet WSB-TV reported. He then returned to the country and attempted to gain citizenship over the years, unsuccessfully. Guobadia's deportation comes amid President's Trump's deportation programme, which prompted violent protests in Los Angeles against the Trump administration and ICE.
