Reality star gives birth to her first child six years after TV stint as she reveals baby’s gender

Reality star Anna McEvoy has given birth to her first child.

The new mum, 33, is familiar to telly fans from the second series of Love Island Australia, which aired in the UK on ITVBe and ITVX.

She appeared on the same series as Jessie Wynter, who went on to appear on Love Island UK and fell in love with Will Young.

Anna and her husband Michael Staples announced they are now proud parents of a son on social media today (Saturday).

They shared a joint instagram post which read: "Baby Staples and Anna are happy and healthy.

"We adore our little man. He is our everything."

Earlier in the week, Anna updated her fans, revealing she would be having a C-section on Thursday.

Anna won the second season of Love Island Australia with Josh Packham, but the relationship didn't last on the outside world

The pair called it quits in 2020 after one year together.

Anna later began dating businessman Michael, who owns a tanning brand called Golden Bee.

The couple wed in Greece last year after getting engaged in October 2022.

Michael said of his wife after returning from their honeymoon: "Two weeks on and I still haven’t come back down to earth after marrying the woman of my dreams, best friend and forever love."

They announced they were expecting their first child in November last year.

At the time of the announcement, Anna wrote on instagram: "This day will forever be one of the BEST of our lives."

Just before Anna gave birth, Michael paid tribute to her last month.

Alongside a snap of Anna's huge bump, he wrote: £8 months and counting! It’s hard to find the words to describe the amount of appreciation I have for this woman, as she grows a watermelon size little guy, who expresses love through kicking each and every one of her organs on an hourly basis."

He continued: "It’s incredible to see you go through all of these physical and emotional changes, with a smile on your face and always love in your heart. I love you."
