Arabella also shared shots of herself and Billy taking Gigi home for the first time as they posed in a lift, with her boyfriend holding their daughter in a carrier.
She looked every inch the doting mother as she cuddled Gigi at their home as they got settled in to their family life.
Arabella also included shots of her out for lunches with Gigi and wrote in a caption: 'In love with this little life [heart emoji].'
The model added on her Instagram Stories: 'Thank you for all the beautiful messages. The past 11 days have been the most magical days of my life.'
'Being a mummy to our little girl Gigi is the most rewarding feeling I have ever had. She is so precious and given me a complete new meaning and purpose to life.'
Earlier this week, she posted on Instagram to share the happy news of Gigi's arrival.
Sharing photographs of her and the little one, Arabella captioned the post: 'Our worlds are complete. Gigi Harper Henty. 20/05/2025 6.2 lbs.'
Fans had been eagerly awaiting the announcement all week after noticing the TV personality had gone silent on social media.
For their lavish baby shower, which was held at a Mexican restaurant on Kings Road, guests were served cocktails named Princess Paloma, Miss Margarita and Angel Fresco in honour of her baby girl.
A number of Arabella's star-studded pals also came to celebrate including Georgia Harrison, Olivia Hawkins and Dancing On Ice star Ferne McCann.
Arabella and entrepreneur Billy found love after starring on the first All Stars series last year, and announced they were expecting their first child together in December.
The bombshell and Billy went public with their relationship in October.
The model revealed that she has 'always wanted to be a mum' as she discussed finding the one in her boyfriend.
Arabella admitted the couple 'moved in together straight away' after meeting through mutual friends.
She was previously linked to Premier League footballer Ruben Dias, Leonardo DiCaprio's 'close pal' Richie Akiva and French rugby player Yoann Huget.

Although Arabella found herself back in the Love Island Villa in January 2024, she once again was unlucky in love... at least until she met Billy.
Speaking in an interview with MailOnline about her pregnancy, she said: 'I'm so happy, and she's such a blessing and I'm so thrilled.'
She continued: 'It wasn't a surprise. I've always wanted to be a mum. We've thought of names, so we're very excited.'

Abusive mother of double amputee Tony Hudgell to be released from prison
A mother who abused her six-week-old son so severely he lost his legs is to be freed from prison. The Parole Board has ruled that Jody Simpson, who caused Tony Hudgell near-fatal injuries, can be released. The board said her imprisonment was 'no longer necessary for the protection of the public' after she had engaged with rehabilitation schemes in jail. Simpson and her partner Tony Smith, birth parents to Tony, were sentenced to 10 years in prison in February 2018 after inflicting multiple fractures, dislocations and blunt trauma to Tony's face. The boy was left untreated and in agony for 10 days. In recent years, Tony, who was adopted by Mark and Paula Hudgell, has raised £1.8 million for charity, most of which came during the Covid pandemic, when he walked 10km (6.2 miles) on his prosthetic legs. Simpson was initially let out in February this year at an automatic release point but was sent back to jail in May, after breaking her licence conditions by having 'a relationship with a convicted sex offender'. The Parole Board said she had 'engaged with art psychotherapy…and victim awareness work.' It said her behaviour in prison had been 'without issue'. In its judgment, it said: The panel noted Ms Simpson had done well for many months on licence prior to her developing an unwise relationship. However, it accepted that she now fully understands the risky situation she created for herself and the need for her to be open about her life with her probation officer. 'After considering the circumstances of her offending and time on licence, the progress made while in custody and the evidence presented at the hearing, the panel was satisfied that imprisonment was no longer necessary for the protection of the public.' Under the terms of her release licence, she will have to stay at a designated address and 'to be of good behaviour, to disclose developing relationships, and to report as required for supervision or other appointments.' She will also be subject to enhanced supervision or monitoring including drug testing, GPS tagging, signing-in times and a specified curfew. She will also only be allowed to meet designated contacts, be subject to an exclusion zone to avoid contact with victims and face restriction on her use of computers and the internet.

Now X-rated teacher who made '£60,000 a month' on OnlyFans faces being struck off
A teacher who quit the classroom after it emerged she was selling X-rated pictures on OnlyFans is to be hauled before an education watchdog. Kirsty Buchan, 34, left her role at Bannerman High School in Glasgow when her explicit sideline was revealed. The physics teacher claimed she only started to post images to make money amid a pay row. She later claimed to have made £60,000 in just one month by sharing photos of herself on the adult site. Glasgow City Council launched a probe into Ms Buchan and referred the case to the General Teaching Council for Scotland (GTCS). The mother-of-one is now set to go before a disciplinary panel where she faces three allegations against her. The GTCS allege that between 2022 and 2023 she set up an OnlyFans page using the moniker 'Jessica Jackrabbitx' and used the profile to sell explicit photos and videos. It is said her bio on her page read, 'good teacher gone bad*really bad', and made reference to posting photos 'every couple of days'. She is also accused of failing to ensure that her profile could not be accessed by any member of the public including those under 18 without them needing to log in or subscribe to OnlyFans. Ms Buchan, of Coatbridge, Lanarkshire, is further said to have given a newspaper interview in December 2022 while still employed at the school about her decision to join OnlyFans. The GTCS claim her actions were 'lacking in integrity', failed to take steps to stop her being identified and risked bringing the profession into 'disrepute'. It is said her fitness to teach is 'impaired' and that she is unfit to teach. The teacher had previously defended her decision to join OnlyFans. She said: 'You can hate me if you want. 'I don't like narrow-minded people who make judgments on folk they don't truly know. 'I have an everyday woman's body and don't mind showing my flaws. 'This is about standing up for my story and OnlyFans and promoting feeling good about yourself. 'I'm not looking for the world, just to be able to provide for my son.'
