This Morning's beloved expert and psychologist, Emma Kenny, has given birth to her fourth child at the age of 52. Alongside her husband Pete, 34, they've welcomed a little girl into their growing family.
Emma excitedly broke the news on Instagram, introducing her baby girl Ella-Grey to the world with a series of adorable snaps.
Her heartwarming post read: "Say hi Ella-Grey And then we were six! Say hello Ella-Grey! 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."
Already blessed with three children Tyde (22), Evan (20), and Etta-Blue, brought into the world in 2023, Emma's joy was sombrely mixed with grief, as she recently lost her mother, reports the Mirror.

Speaking of her family's loss, Emma shared: "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 would have loved them as older my boys did before them."

She further expressed: "Ella-Grey 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."
She revealed that she had struggled to come to terms with her father's tragic passing, and at the time, she thought she would never find happiness again.
However, she has since learned that people are capable of more than just withstanding suffering; they can also learn, grow, and develop courage through it.

She reflected: "When my dad took his life in 2019, I never thought I would be happy again, but 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 concluded her post by expressing gratitude to those who had supported her during difficult times. She wrote: "Thank you to all of you who have spent years supporting me.
"You stood beside me in the dark times and you gave me so many new career directions that these days I don't need invites off the MSM! Thank you, all of you, for so much more than you could possibly know xxx."
The announcement was met with an outpouring of congratulations from fans and friends. One well-wisher commented: "Massive congrats! You are such a massive inspiration."
Meanwhile another added: "Awww congratulations to you both, your girls will be besties! It is hard when the younger ones don't get to know your parents the same way as older siblings, I feel my youngest missed out on so much too, best wishes to your lovely family."
