Love Island's Jessica Hayes Shares Beautiful Tribute To Newborn Daughter

   

Love Island's Jessica Hayes has shared a touching tribute to her newborn daughter.

The reality TV personality and her partner Zeb welcomed baby Zendaya-Rose earlier this month, and she's now shared a cute little video of the little one to her Instagram.

The black and white video, soundtracked by James Arthur's 'Heartbeat', showed clips of just before and after the birth, as well as the baby at home getting attention from her mum, dad, and older brother Presley.

"Introducing our precious girly Zendaya- Rose," she wrote in the caption. "I don’t think it will ever sink in that you are mine. My little Zeny."Earlier this month, Jessica explained why she went for the name that she did.

"My partner Zeb really liked the name Zendaya when I was pregnant but I prefer it shortened," she explained.

"I've never heard of the name Zenny before so I like that it's unique. We had that name planned for a while before she arrived and she suits it."

Zendaya-Rose's arrival comes after Jessica experienced miscarriages in 2020 and in April 2023.

"I debated posting it feels really strange to open up and feel vulnerable but you know I’m always open and honest with you all and it’s hard to pretend I’m ok as it’s been a rough week," she wrote in a heartbreaking Instagram post last year.

"It's not really just losing a pregnancy, it's the plans you make, your vision of what that baby or child might of been like, what your family will look like and it gets taken away in a second."
