Felicity Urquhart has given birth to a baby girl.
The Australian singer, who currently hosts The ABC's Saturday Night Country show, said that she and her musician husband Glen Hannah were very happy to welcome their "princess of happiness" Tia Joy recently.
Urquhart told Woman's Day magazine: "Happy names run in our family. Joy was my dad's mum's name. I have an Aunty Gay, and my name means happiness.
"Joy is also a significant name in Australian country music with the late, great Slim Dusty's wife Joy McKean - she's an amazing talent and a beautiful woman."
Describing her daughter as a "gorgeous little possum", 35-year-old Urquhart added: "We are so taken with her. We just wake up and both of us are instantly besotted. We say, 'You're the most amazing, gorgeous little girl!'
"Tears are still coming... but they're definitely tears of joy. The birth went so well and we tried to keep it as natural as possible. We were in labour for six hours. Glen was there encouraging me every step of the way and suddenly she was there. My God, she's so beautiful."
Australian model Rebecca Judd, who is married to sports star Chris Judd, recently gave birth to a little boy called Oscar. Chris later said that he would never want to sell photos of his children to a magazine to make money.
