Amy Childs gave birth! TOWIE star welcomes twins with boyfriend Billy Delbosq after a ‘long and tiring’ delivery
Amy Childs gave birth to twins.
The TOWIE star welcomed a baby boy and girl with her boyfriend Billy Delbosq after a “long and tiring” delivery.
They are the couple’s first children together. Amy is also proud mum to Polly, five, with ex-boyfriend Bradley Wright and son Ritchie Jr, two, from a previous relationship.
A source close to Amy told The Sun: ‘Amy has welcomed twin babies, a boy and a girl. She is overjoyed, but exhausted after a long labour.
“Amy and Billy are delighted with their newcomers.”
MailOnline has reached out to Amy’s representatives for comment.
Amy revealed last week she was booked in for a C-section with doctors watching closely as they were concerned about her water breaking.
Congratulations! Amy Childs gave birth to twins
She said the concerns stem from her early water rupture during her previous pregnancies with daughter Polly, five, and son Ritchie, four.
With more checks every week until the little duo arrives, Amy described the delivery as in the hands of doctors and midwives.
Write for her OK! magazine column, the star explained that the birth could be natural or cesarean, despite the latter being booked.
Amy described her plan as “open-ended,” sharing, “As I’ve said from day one — if I can go, of course, then I will.” My phrase of the year is “anything can happen”.’
“While the twins aren’t coming any time soon, the doctors are concerned because my waters have gone along with my previous pregnancies, so it could happen any minute,” she continued.
A caesarean section is the surgical procedure in which the babies are delivered through an incision in Amy’s abdomen, rather than through a vaginal delivery. The procedure is often performed when a natural birth would put the mother at risk.
Amy added that it looks good on previous scans and shared that she can be left up to 38 weeks before delivery as the twins are not identical.
She also added: “They’ve told me at this point that the babies aren’t engaged yet, so there’s really no chance of them coming.
“When they scanned me, they said they feel really comfortable. So far the girl weighs 6.8 pounds, while the little boy weighs 6 pounds.”
Amy and boyfriend Billy Delbosq, 38, have been an item since October 2021, just two months after the mother-of-two split from her ex-boyfriend Tim after 14 months together.
Amy shares daughter Polly, five, with ex-boyfriend Bradley Wright and is also mum to son Ritchie Jr, two.
Last year she decided to stop using birth control. However, the reality TV star did not expect to get pregnant so quickly when she found out she was pregnant just two months later.
The couple were even more surprised when Amy later found out she was going to have twins.
