Malin Andersson has shared the first photo of her newborn daughter and revealed her unusual name.
The Love Island star gave birth to a beautiful baby girl on January 28, three years after the tragic death of her daughter Consy.
Taking to Instagram on Tuesday to share a photo of herself cradling her family’s new addition, Malin wrote: “Here she is.. Meet XAYA 🧿 28.01.22.🤍”

“Me and Jared have been in the most beautiful, surreal baby bubble and so I took a month out to just focus on our family,” she explained.
“I ended up having an emergency c-section with her, they took her out of the same scar Consy came from.. that was a bittersweet experience for me which I needed to take in after.”
“I can’t even describe the amount of love she has given us, and how it feels to be a mum again – but to a healthy baby. I look at her and I have to pinch myself.. She’s the spit of her dad, and is covered in black thick hair 🤣 (I’m jealous.)”
“Thank-you for all of your messages, it’s been overwhelming – you guys have really followed my journey and I’m in awe of all of your support. We are sending you all so much love 🤍”
Malin only went public with her boyfriend Jared in June, but at the time she told fans that he was her “soul mate”.
Announcing her pregnancy in August, the reality star posted a black-and-white snap of her and Jared cradling her baby bump, and wrote: “My next chapter. My new beginning. My happy ending. My entire universe. All mine.”
“I can’t describe to you all how I feel writing this. Everything I’ve ever wanted, everything I visualised.”

“A solid partner in my life, who has been there in the background – witnessed my life over the past 4 years and has stuck by me as a friend… and now a lover.”
“This couldn’t feel any more right – and we’re now bringing a beautiful soul into this world. My heart feels electric writing this, my eyes tearing up… because I can promise you all there was once upon a time I never thought I could experience this.”
“I was wrong. It just wasn’t the right time. All the pain I’ve endured has led to this very moment… my own little family. Mumma – I know you’re looking down with bright eyes and a big smile. Baby Consy – protect us from above. This is us now,” she added.
Malin’s baby daughter Consy was born seven weeks premature in December 2018, and sadly passed away four weeks later on January 22, 2019.
