This Morning star Emma Kenny, 52, gives birth to her fourth child weeks after family tragedy
The TV psychologist and podcaster who has appeared on This Morning, revealed the exciting news in an emotional Instagram post on Tuesday, explaining how her daughter's birth comes just weeks after she sadly lost her mother.
Emma welcomed a daughter Etta-Blue in 2023 following ten years of struggling to fall pregnant with her husband Pete Skywalker. She is also mum to sons Tyde, 22, and Evan, 20, from a former marriage.
Posting photos taken after the birth Emma gushed: 'Say hi Ella-Grey And then there were six!'
'This morning she entered the world with a very loud cry. The Royal Bolton hospital have been fantastic and ensured that we have both been looked after brilliantly.'
Emma told her followers that she has been grieving her mother following her sudden death last month.
'I lost my mum suddenly a couple of weeks back, and it's really strange knowing that neither of my babies will get to know their grandparents…..they would have loved them as my boys did before them,' she wrote.
The TV star lost her father in 2019 when he took his own life, after which she thought 'I never twould be happy again.'
But she explained 'in truth I couldn't have been more wrong, I've learnt we are more than simply built to withstand suffering, we are programmed to learn, and grow, and develop courage through it.
'I cannot change what happened but I can embrace the gifts that grief brought me.'
She added that her newborn 'has been lying on me all day, she latched on immediately and is as wonderful as I imagined she would be…..but like her sister…..I am blindsided that she is a girl.'
'So, now I have two very big boys of 20 and 22, and two tiny girls aged 1 day and 23 months.'
Emma has been open about her feelings about being an older mother, admitting before the birth of her eldest daughter two years ago that she felt selfish having a third child at the age of 50 because it 'stole years away' from their relationship.
While Emma cherishes parenthood, she admitted at the time that giving birth later in life will inevitably compromise the time she has with Etta as she grows into adulthood.
She told New magazine: 'I felt a great deal of selfishness all the way up until giving birth. There are moments when I think, "I wish I could have another 20 years with Etta."
'I could beat myself up about it, but my best friend died at 43, so you don't always get the time that's promised to you.'
Emma trained to become a psychologist after discovering her first husband had cheated on her with her best friend.
She is now a TV true crime presenter and has her own YouTube channel called Emma Kenny True Crime.

Chloe Kelly incident that caused 'cocky gesture' controversy after Lionesses Euros win
Lionesses star Chloe Kelly has been on the end of some fierce criticism from the Spanish media after steering England to victory against Spain in the Euro 2025 final Chloe Kelly's celebration after her Euros-winning penalty triggered bitter criticism across the Spanish media, with some slamming her as 'cocky'. The Lionesses star netted the winning spot-kick in Switzerland on Sunday evening. And in the process, she ensured that Sarina Wiegman 's side would be returning with their European championship crown firmly in tow. And while her successful penalty triggered wild celebrations for her home nation, Kelly was not as popular in Spain. Members of the Spanish media slammed the Arsenal star for seemingly celebrating in front of Spain goalkeeper Cata Coll. They wrote: "This is unnecessary, my friend: Kelly's cocky gesture to Cata Coll after scoring the decisive penalty. The England specialist changed her run during her penalty celebration to get past the goalkeeper she had just beaten." Kelly, 27, has yet to speak out on her perceived 'cocky' celebration - but did explain her somewhat conventional run-up to her spot-kick that involved a skip and a jump. She said: 'To be honest, it started when I was at Everton, quite a few years ago now. "It's something that just works for me. I can't explain it too much. I actually spoke with one of the coaches the other day about it. 'It's just my routine that works for me. I take my time, I take my breath, and I'm confident in that. Taking a penalty normally would probably feel a bit weird to me. It's just my routine. Sometimes you miss, sometimes you score, but I was adamant I was not missing two on the bounce.' Meanwhile, she praised her teammates and boss Sarina Wiegman for making it back-to-back titles. She said: "I'm so proud to be English! ... Every girl out there with that dream: you can do it. Keep reaching for the stars." "I am so proud of this team,' Kelly added to BBC Sport. 'So grateful to wear this badge. So proud to be English. "Unbelievable. All the staff behind us and Sarina Wiegman - she has done it again! Unbelievable. It is going to be crazy. I hope the whole of England comes out to support us and shows their love to these girls as they deserve it." Despite the criticism from Spain, the celebrations continued once the Lionesses arrived back on home soil. They were given a warm welcome by supporters when they stepped off of their flight, while the team then received a red carpet reception at Downing Street on Monday.
