Love Island star Jess Hayes has welcomed a baby girl with her fiancé Zeb.
Jess — who also shares a son, Presley, with her ex Dan Lawry — welcomed a daughter named Zendaya Rose after "a really smooth labour".
"I had a water birth," the past Love Island winner told OK! magazine. "My partner came home from work and my water broke in the evening so we got to the hospital at about 7 pm and I had her at around 10:30 pm, it was good."

Speaking about the recent addition to the family, Jess revealed it was Zeb who picked the name of their baby girl, though she prefers to shorten it to Zenny.
"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."

Jess and Zeb announced they were expecting a child last December in a tender Instagram post.
The happy news came after Jess suffered two miscarriages in 2020 and in April 2023.
Earlier this year, she shared the heartbreaking loss on Instagram, writing: "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."
At the end of her note, Jess shared her hopes to have more children "one day".
"I know I dream of more children one day," she wrote, "I love being a mother so much and I hope I'm lucky and blessed enough to be telling a different story next time."
Love Island airs on ITV2 and streams on ITVX.
