Now, in a brand new Instagram snap, Arabella has opened up about the hardships of being a first time mum, especially since Billy had to leave her to parent alone.
Confirming he had jetted off to work, the star revealed she'd found it "challenging" having to look after the tot on her own.
Cradling her in a brand new mirror selfie, the ex of Ruben Dias declared: "One tired mumma."
She added: "Billy has been away for work this week which has been challenging but has also given me so much confidence in getting out the house alone.
"Can't wait for another pair of hands and to have a long shower when he's home."
The 34-year-old gave birth to her first child less than a month ago.
She confirmed she was expecting shortly after she went public with her romance with Billy which The Sun revealed in September last year.
They begun dating just weeks after she took part in the first ever All Stars edition of Love Island early last year.
Confirming their tot's arrival at the end of May, Arabella uploaded a black and white snap of Gigi to her profile.
She added the caption: "Our worlds are complete.

"Gigi Harper Henty, 20/05/2025, 6.2 lbs."
She was recently forced to defend herself from trolls who took aim at her showcasing her toned body within days of giving birth.
Arabella had chronicled her fitness journey throughout her pregnancy and clarified that her post was a means of continuing her regular content and not to be insensitive towards women struggling with their bodies just a few days after giving birth.
She said online: "I was amazed that my body did bounce back as quickly as it did and I am proud of myself."
"I was proud that all that training I had done had paid off and to inspire other people that if you train safely throughout your pregnancy it does make a difference."
Arabella concluded by writing: "Don't get me wrong, post partum isn't always glamorous, most days I'm covered in sick, milk, blood or poo. But it's also nice to share the small wins on here."
Arabella first shot to fame on series five of Love Island in 2019.
Love Island All Stars break-ups
Anton Danyluk and Georgia Harrison
Fans had hoped the popular pair would stand the test of time but just weeks after leaving the villa they called it a day.
Distance was said to be a factor with 400miles between their homes in Essex and Aidrie, Scotland, respectively.
But today Anton set the record straight on the What's The Crack? podcast with his mum Sherrie-Ann.
He said: 'I just don't think there was really that romantic spark there. We did both try. At times it was there but just not enough for it to continue as a relationship.'
Jess Gale and Callum Jones
The fourth placed finishers always faced on uphill battle given many watching the latest series wanted Callum to reunite with his ex Molly Smith.
The fireworks from the Boohoo party row put an end to the romance before it really got off the floor.
Arabella Chi and Adam Maxted
This visually striking pairing bloomed late in the series. Despite forming a close bond in the villa, the couple quickly went cold in the real world.
Wrestler Adam was based in Northern Ireland while model Arabella moved into a new pad in London. Even though Adam revealed he was moving to Manchester, it wasn't enough to save them.
They vowed to remain good friends and split on good terms.
Luis Morrison and Demi Jones
In another case of distance getting in the way, Luis admitted the 240 miles between Manchester and Portsmouth was just too much.
He told The Sun: 'Me and Demi aren't together, but she was a huge part of my Love Island experience and she is one of the most loveliest, most beautiful girls I've ever met.
'The connection was definitely there when leaving the villa too.
"But the distance was a killer for us both and wouldn't of worked as we are both at different parts of the country, we both have really busy schedules coming off love island too.'
