A spokesperson told MailOnline: 'Ryan and his partner Zara are delighted to announce the birth of their daughter, Cora Giggs who was born on Friday 1 November.

'They extend their warmest gratitude to all the amazing staff especially the midwives at Wythenshawe hospital.'

This is Ryan's third child as he shares two teenage children with ex-wife Stacey Cooke. Ryan was previously married to his ex-wife Stacey for 10 years before the news broke that he had been having a long-term affair with his brother's wife.

They former couple share two teenage children together, a 19-year-old daughter, Libby, and a 17-year-old son, Zach, who are said to be 'happy' about welcoming a new sibling.

A source previously told The Sun: 'Ryan was nervous about what his kids would think but they've got to know Zara over the last few years and really like her. They're happy because they know he's happy.

'But they've joked that he might struggle with the early mornings and lack of sleep. Ryan and Zara are thrilled at the prospect of becoming parents again, they have a very solid, loving relationship and are building a long-term future together.'

Ryan's ex-wife Stacey has also reportedly given her blessing as they prepare to become a 'blended family'.
