Anne-Marie reveals postnatal depression battle after welcoming second child
The singer, aged 34, behind the hits Rockabye and Ciao Adios, welcomed her second child with rapper Slowthai, 30, in May this year.
It came just 15 months after Annie-Marie gave birth to the couple's first child, a daughter.
On Instagram, Anne-Marie shared a string of selfies with fans, showing she has changed her deep red tresses in favour of a new wavy blonde bob.
Other pictures showed her relaxed, laughing at the camera with her eyes closed and wearing a pleated playsuit and gold pendant.
In the caption to her post, she wrote: 'This is the most 'me' I've felt in a long time. My head has been all over the place. I've been pregnant and breastfeeding for over 2 years.
'My hormones are mental and I've only just started feeling okay. I've been through a lot.
'My body has been through a lot. It's so hard but I guess cliche to say IT IS worth it. For someone who doesn't like routines I've had to become the person who lives in one. With naps and feeding and meal times. But I'm through it, still going through it but I feel I've come out of the hole.
'I battled with post natal depression and post natal anxiety, and therapy (yet again) and the people around me pulled me through it. Now I'm back. I'm strong and I'm excited. My blond hair is back.
'My body is kinda back. I just have to stop eating chocolate now and saying 'the baby wants it' hahahaha damn.
'Anyway, this caption is too long but just wanted to let you know. My mind is finally seeing clear again. Yay. I have 2 beautiful babies. Now it's time to tour again hahaha. Okay maybe not yet but soon.'
Anne-Marie's post has already garnered over 120,000 likes from Instagram followers.
One fan posted: 'Tour‼︎?? I can't wait! You're strong!! I love you all.'
Another said: 'You take your time we will always be here. Love you! You look absolutely stunning by the ways!'
Celebrities including DJ Fearne Cotton and TV presenter Stacey Dooley both responded with 'heart' emojis, while singer Jessie J posted 'Superwoman' and Paloma Faith wrote: 'Totally relate.'
Following the birth of her second baby in May, Anne-Marie shared several photos on Instagram.
She wrote: "Another beautiful little thing has entered our lives. Hello everyone."
She also posted an emotional first birthday to her daughter in February, writing: 'A year with the most beautiful soul. I hope you have loved your life so far.
'Our precious little book worm, you are so clever and funny. We can't wait to spend the rest of our lives with you.'

Royal Family At Wimbledon Over the Years: Photos
If there are two things you can expect from the British royal family, it's amazing fashion and undying love for outdoor sports. Whether it's a polo game or a good soccer match, they never miss a chance to enjoy the great outdoors to the fullest. One event the family adores going to is Wimbledon. Now Wimbledon is one of the biggest events in sports, deemed one of the top Grand Slam tennis tournaments in the world. The royal family has been attending Wimbledon on and off for decades, with even the late King George arriving at the legendary 1947 event. In particular, Kate Middleton and Prince William have arrived at the event over the years, time and time again in show-stopping outfits. Every time Kate comes in, everyone swarms to every store to find the real look or a fabulous lookalike. We have no doubt that if the Wales arrive, the same thing will happen. Almost everyone in the British royal family has attended a Wimbledon match (including the late Queen Elizabeth II)! So, let's take a look back at the times the British royal family has attended Wimbledon over the years below. A version of this article was originally published on June 28, 2022.

Princess Charlotte of Wales and Catherine, Princess of Wales had such a sweet moment on the front row during day fourteen! Catherine, Princess of Wales, arrived at the Ladies' Singles Final during day thirteen, turning heads in an ivory ensemble from Self Portrait. After weeks of speculation, Catherine Princess of Wales arrived at day 14 of the event, looking so gorgeous in a purple Safiyaa London Cecilia dress. Princess Charlotte made her Wimbledon debut in 2023 alongside her proud mom, but in 2024, she came back with her mom, looking so excited to have a mother-daughter day. Along with Princess Charlotte, her auntie Pippa Middleton came along for support! For the final day of Wimbledon, Kate and William brought along two of their three kids to watch all the fun! On the last day of Wimbledon, Catherine, Princess of Wales showed her daughter Princess Charlotte of Wales all the insider knowledge about the sport! On July 15, Kate Middleton channeled her late mother-in-law's style yet again at day thirteen of the Wimbledon Tennis Championships. For day two of Wimbledon, Kate made a solo trip out (and looked beyond gorgeous as she channeled her late mother-in-law's style)! Kate Middleton and Prince William were so excited when they brought Prince George to Wimbledon in 2022, making his debut! George is actually the same age when his dad went to his first Wimbledon. Everyone was still talking about Kate Middleton's lime green, pleated dress by Emilia Wickstead that she wore on the 12th day of Wimbledon 2021. Princess Beatrice looked absolutely radiant when she wore this polka-dotted dress in the Royal Box in Wimbledon 2021. We've always adored moments like these between Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle. During the 2018 Wimbledon Championships, the two ladies looked so radiant. Kate wore a bespoke Jenny Packman dress, a Dolce & Gabbana Sicily shoulder bag, and Gianvito Rossi 105 suede pumps. Meghan also wowed in a blue and white look from Ralph Lauren with a white hat by Maison Michel. Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle both looked so gorgeous, happily smiling throughout the 2019 Championships. Kate rocked a sleek dark green Dolce and Gabbana dress and Meghan wowed in a Madewell outfit with a gold necklace with her son Archie's initials. Camilla, The Duchess of Cornwall, frequently wears white to Wimbledon and we adored her elegant look at the 2019 Championships. Princess Eugenie and her now-husband Jack Brooksbank ended up having a date at the 2014 Wimbledon. Neither could take their eyes off of the court! LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM – JUNE 30: Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall salutes as she visits on day four of the 2016 Wimbledon Championships at the All England Lawn and Croquet Club in London, United Kingdom on June 30, 2016. (Photo by Lindsey Parnaby/) Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall were so into the 2012 Wimbledon Championships. Can we talk about the beautiful look of love Prince William was giving Kate Middleton? The two were having such a good time throughout the 2012 Wimbledon Championships, with Kate looked especially elegant in this cream ensemble on day nine. Back in 2011, Princess Beatrice and her boyfriend at the time Dave Clark seemed to be having a wonderful time watching the championships at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club. Everyone lost it when word spread that Queen Elizabeth II was going to Day Four of the 2010 Wimbledon Championships. She arrived in a vibrant, aqua ensemble that we still think about to this day. It seems that Prince William has gotten way more into what's going on during Wimbledon since his first visit with Princess Diana back in 1991. They both looked so dapper as they were engrossed in the Ladies' Final. Back in 1991, Princess Diana brought along her eight-year-old son Prince William to the Women's Singles Championship at Wimbledon where Steffi Graf won. While we adore the vibrant outfit Diana is rocking, we just can't stop 'awwing' over this super-sweet mother-son photo. At the 1988 Wimbledon, it seemed like Princess Diana and an expecting Duchess of York couldn't help but catch up. Honestly, we adore seeing snapshots like these of these two! King George VI loved outdoor sports, like the rest of the family. It was a big occasion when he went to the men's singles championship at Wimbledon on July 4, 1947.

Kate Middleton Reacts to Fan Shouting at Her at Wimbledon
Kate Middleton was in high spirits at Wimbledon and had a sweet rapport with the adoring crowd at the Men's Singles Final. The Princess of Wales was at the final of the Grand Slam tennis tournament in London on July 13, where she watched the match before heading down to Centre Court to award the trophies to the first-place finisher, Jannik Sinner of Italy, and the runner-up, Carlos Alcaraz of Spain. More from SheKnows Photos of the Royal Family at Wimbledon Over the Years, 1947-2025 As she stepped out onto Centre Court to shake hands with ball boys and girls and make her way over to award trophies, a fan shouted from the stands, 'I love you, Kate!' The poised Princess, 43, of course stuck with her royal training and didn't have too much of a reaction, but did let out a laugh in response, per People. The Duchess of Cambridge has been a staple at Wimbledon finals since 2016, when Queen Elizabeth first appointed her as patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London. Even before taking on this official role, Kate regularly attended the tennis tournament after marrying Prince William in 2011. This year, it was a family affair as she was joined by her husband, Prince William, and the couple brought along their elder two children, Prince George, 11, and Princess Charlotte, 10, who showed off her chic style. William and Kate's youngest son, 7-year-old Louis, didn't join his older siblings. In 2024, Kate received a standing ovation when she showed up to the Wimbledon Men's Final after taking a step back from Royal duties amid her cancer diagnosis. In the year since, Kate has been slowly returning to public duties and recently opened up about struggling to find balance after completing chemotherapy. 'You put on a sort of brave face, stoicism through treatment. Treatment's done, then it's like, 'I can crack on, get back to normal,' but actually, the phase afterwards is really, really difficult,' Kate said during a July 2 official visit to Colchester Hospital in Essex. 'You're not necessarily under the clinical team any longer, but you're not able to function normally at home as you perhaps once used to.' Kate has been in remission since January 2025.

Isla Fisher jokingly addresses her and Sacha Baron Cohen's separate Wimbledon appearances
Isla Fisher has made a light-hearted quip about her and her ex-husband Sacha Baron Cohen's separate appearances at Wimbledon on Sunday. The Australian actress took her older brother Daniel to watch the men's singles final at the famed London tennis tournament on Sunday, while the Borat star was photographed chatting with a male friend in the stands. After the MailOnline wrote an article about the exes "narrowly" avoiding each other at the sporting event, Fisher took a screengrab of the piece and posted it on her Instagram Stories. She jokingly wrote in the caption, "Hang on? Who's watching the kids? @sachabaroncohen." Although she tagged him in the post, Baron Cohen - who is not particularly active on social media - did not respond. The Now You See Me actress and Ali G Indahouse actor announced their separation in April 2024 with a tennis-themed statement. "After a long tennis match lasting over twenty years, we are finally putting our racquets down," their joint Instagram statement read. "In 2023 we jointly filed to end our marriage. We have always prioritized our privacy and have been quietly working through this change." They concluded, "We forever share in our devotion and love for our children. We sincerely appreciate your respecting our family's wish for privacy." Fisher and Baron Cohen, who have three children, began dating after meeting at a party in 2001, and they tied the knot in 2010. They announced their divorce had been finalised in a social media statement on 13 June. "We are proud of all we've achieved together and, continuing our great respect for each other, we remain friends and committed to coparenting our wonderful children," they wrote. "We ask for the media to continue to respect our children's privacy."
