The sister of Ex On The Beach star Chloe Goodman has welcomed her first child after opening up about her fertility battle due to endometriosis

Lauryn Goodman has given birth to her first baby after a tragic fertility battle with endometriosis.

The model and social media star, 29, has become a new mum, announcing the exciting news of her little bundle of joy's arrival, whose father is footballer Kyle Walker.

She's yet to confirm the baby's sex or his/her name, but did share the first picture.

She wrote: "I want to introduce you all to my #MiracleBaby.

"This has truly been the biggest blessing and I keep crying just thinking I can’t believe I've made you and you are here. I find myself just staring in awe thinking I have made this little special human. You have defied all odds and you are the best thing to have ever happened to me.

"Words can’t describe the love I feel for you already. My #endo baby - you have been so strong and I cannot wait to start this journey with you.

"There is a bit of a story labour wise and after my labour that I do want to share with you all, as I feel it’s so important to be open and honest because my platform can help others. But for now, I just wanted to share this moment with you all as you have been so amazing with your advice and messages! My little bed buddy."

Lauryn, who is the sister of Ex On The Beach star Chloe Goodman, confirmed she was pregnant in January as she showed off her blossoming bump during a holiday to Barbados.

Chloe is expecting her first child with fiancé Grant Hall.

Lauryn confirmed the identity of the baby's father was football star Kyle Walker, who was previously in a relationship with Annie Kilner, 26, for ten years.

Walker met Kilner when he was 18 years old and playing for his hometown Sheffield United.

After welcoming three kids together, the pair split in April 2019 when Walker was accused of cheating with Ex On The Beach's Laura Brown, 30, in the back of his £200,000 Bentley.

Lauryn previously confirmed she fell pregnant with Walker's baby after his split from Kilner.

Lauryn initially kept a tight lid on their relationship but later decided to publicly out the footballer as the father of her child.

During an appearance on the Victoria Derbyshire show, Lauryn revealed her health battles with endometriosis were part of the reason she let slip she was expecting Walker's child.

She told host Victoria that she wanted to shift the conversation to her fertility issues and stop the constant speculation about her unborn child's paternity.

She explained: "It was going to be my first and probably only child that I have. I wanted to enjoy what I could of it out of the public eye.

"I wanted a little bit of me time. Then I got pictured on the beach in Barbados. I was thinking, ‘Can I even deny that I'm pregnant, I'm not ready to do this…’

Lauryn went on: "I decided to release it on my Instagram and give the backstory about why this was such a special pregnancy for me.

"It didn't become about the endometriosis and the infertility journey... It became about who the dad was, which for me, it wasn't about that.

"It was about raising awareness for women that are suffering; a lot are suffering in silence, they don't even know they have it."

It is unclear whether Kyle will be involved in the raising of her new baby as Lauryn swiftly changed the subject when asked about it.

"Me and Kyle are keeping things private in terms of our child and I want it to remain that way. I'm here to raise awareness," she explained.

The reality star had also admitted she was 'nervous' at the prospect of being single mum.

"I am nervous I'm not going to lie. It's something I never thought I'd do as I always thought I'd be with my partner," Lauryn revealed.

"But a lot of strong women I know are doing it really well and I'm fortunate enough to have a good support network at home with my family and my friends."

Lauryn's friends have already flocked to congratulate her on her new arrival, with TOWIE's Lauren Goodger writing: "I can't believe it I've been waiting for this day ! Your amazing and I can't wait to meet bubba."

Jacqueline Jossa added, "Congratulations", while Lizzie Cundy wrote: "Awww huge congrats !! Best news ever !!"
