Bankrupt influencer Christie Swadling welcomes first child with fiancé Joel Price - after being roasted for her 'bizarre' pregnancy announcement
Christie Swadling has welcomed her first child with her fiancé Joel Price.
The 28-year-old influencer shared a gallery of maternity content to social media on Tuesday night, confirming she had given birth to a healthy baby boy.
One heartwarming clip showed her newborn lying peacefully on her chest as they rested in the hospital's maternity ward.
Christie looked focused in the sweet footage as she tenderly cradled her adorable bub, whose name she is yet to reveal.
She captioned the footage with some heartfelt words: 'Only place he will sleep. I'm so in love. I had a fully unmedicated birth.'

'Birth story is wild and keen to share. But for now I'm just gonna stare at him all night and be in my newborn bubble.'
In October, Christie was roasted after announcing her pregnancy with her fiancé.
The influencer shared a video to Instagram, which showed her placing red roses in front of a large glass sign that read 'Baby Price, Due May 2025'.
'Words can't describe our happiness right now. Baby Price Due May 2025,' she wrote in the caption.
However, some fans questioned the 'bizarre' video and said it looked like the couple were announcing a loss.
'It looks like a grave stone,' one person wrote on social media.
In her post, Swadling explained she was preparing to start her IVF journey when she took a pregnancy test.
'A day before we had an appointment with our Dr to start our IVF journey I went to take another pregnancy test from feeling ALL the symptoms known to a pregnant woman,' she began.
'Joel has been my biggest supporter through this journey and I've known since day one he is who I am doing life with, I am so excited for this new chapter of our life.'
Last year, the controversial influencer opened up about her fertility journey with her followers.
In a video shared to Instagram, she revealed she was going to see a doctor to get some tests done.
'I have had some hormonal issues and I have only started to get a regular period again. Joel and I are trying to have a baby, we haven't had much luck,' she said.
The announcement comes months after Price was served with a restraining order and charged with domestic violence-related common assault.
Price, 38, was served an interim Apprehended Violence Order (AVO) by NSW Police on behalf of Christie in April. He pleaded not guilty to the assault charge.
Daily Mail Australia understands the matter was heard in court on August 6.
In 2022, Swadling filed for bankruptcy after racking up a pile of debt she can't pay back.
Documents leaked online in February 2023 showed the social media star was in financial strife, even though she projects a lavish lifestyle on social media.
It was revealed she was bankrupt after an anonymous user on the Tattle Life forums paid $15 to obtain the paperwork on her bankruptcy filing.
The Instagram model listed her job as an 'advertising and marketing professional' in the publicly available document filed on December 29, 2022.

Moment idiot TikTok influencer gets instant karma after pulling stupid prank on the WRONG unwilling victim
A TIKTOK influencer got instant karma after a prank backfired horribly. Video shows that the joke was really on the prankster as plainclothes police officers quickly arrested him. 5 5 5 Approaching a man in London, the Apple Pay prank involved the influencer going up to a man and tapping their phones together. The prank's victim quickly grabs him by the arm while the perpetrator loudly shouts "hairline" repeatedly. He then tells the man "I took £1,000 out of your account for a new hairline" in reference to his own receding style. As the man continues to hold onto his arm, the cameraman asks his friend whether he should keep filming. Other people then start to get involved, making sure the influencer doesn't get away and saying "you don't go." Despite the chaos, the TikToker tells his cameraman to "keep rolling bro" with a big grin on his face. He quickly changes his tune when the man starts asking people to call the police. The "hairline" prankster quickly starts shouting "bro it's a prank" as he is dragged backwards by the man he was pranking, and a passerby. Another man then approaches the youngster and loudly says: "I am a police officer." As the police officer asks the man to explain what happened, the videographer keeps asking whether he should keep filming. 'You can't make this up' - Irish fans in stitches at Ruesha Littlejohn's playful prank upon Katie McCabe's camp arrival The video captures his friend being put in handcuffs by more plainclothed police officers while he continues to shout that it was " just a prank". The boy is pushed to the floor as the police men tell him to keep still. Despite shouting out in pain and saying they're "breaking my hand off," he encourages his friend to "keep recording." Police then calmly tell him that he has been detained so that they can conduct a stop and search for articles relating to fraud. It's not the first time that pranksters have been dealt instant karma. A teenager who threatened to stab a pedestrian was quickly humiliated when he fell off his bike moments later. Road rage can be a common way for motorists to get instant karma for their reckless driving. Video footage shows two cars locking horns after a risky undertake. A silver car cut across a white line marking a bus lane to undertake a black SUV. Blue lights quickly revealed the black car to be an unmarked police car, leaving social media users laughing at his expense. 5

The 'Deadpool & Wolverine' stars joined driver and CEO Tom Slingsby in leading the team's rebrand after several successful seasons, winning three championships in its four seasons. The team will be called the BONDS Flying Roos, with the Australian underwear company BONDS as its title partner. 'We're incredibly excited to set sail together in this new adventure," Reynolds and Jackman said in a joint statement released through SailGP. "Hugh brings a deep love for and pride in his home country, as well as being an avid fan of sailing. He will also be bringing his overly clingy emotional support human along for the ride. Apologies in advance to Australia. No comment on whether we're writing this in our BONDS. No further questions.' It's the latest sports venture for Reynolds, who along with fellow Hollywood actor Rob McElhenney is a co-owner of Wrexham, one of the world's oldest soccer clubs. Reynolds and McElhenney were also part of an investment group that acquired Colombian club La Equidad earlier this year. The BONDS Flying Roos SailGP Team is expected to make its debut at the Mubadala New York Sail Grand Prix starting June 7. Slingsby, an Olympic gold medalist, said in a release that Jackman and Reynolds bring 'unmatched star power, a love for storytelling, and a sharp sense of (humor) that fits perfectly with our team."
