Baby boom! Mexican singer Anahi gives birth to her first child, a boy
Anahi has given birth to a baby boy, after first announcing her pregnancy to the world in September.
The Mexican beauty today revealed the arrival of her bundle of joy, posting a photo of the sleeping newborn clutching both hers and her husband's hands on her Instagram and captioning it, 'Welcome love of our lives!'
The boy - named Manuel - is the first child for the striking star and her husband, Mexican politician Manuel Velasco Coello.

The 33-year-old's pregnancy was well documented on her Instagram page, with the former singer turned actress regularly updating fans on her progress.
Just one day before giving birth, Anahi shared a selfie of herself relaxing on a couch, her black top pulled up to reveal her heavily pregnant belly.
'I love you,' she captioned the sweet pic.
According to her Instagram, Manuel entered the world at 10.36pm on January 17 in Chiapas, Mexico.

Most famous for being a former member of the Latin-teen pop group, RBD, the brunette beauty also faced a serious battle with anorexia, at one stage weighing approximately 75 pounds and experiencing heart failure.
Since recovering, she's become a prominent spokesperson against eating disorders in her native Mexico.
'I did not notice that my body was crying for help,' she previously told National Geographic series, Obsesion: Cuerpos Que Gritan. 'With the passage of time, my body stopped accepting nutrition until my heart stopped.'

The star appears to have made a full recovery from the illness, and in 2015, married Manuel, 36, the governor of Chiapas.
As a result, many people now consider Anahi to be the First Lady of Chiapas.
'I’m here to be present and not to be absent,' the former pop star said of her role as the governor's wife. 'I want to be present and help him.'
