We are delighted to share with you that we have had a baby girl….welcome to the world Colette (Coco) Josephine Williams!! It has been a very long and difficult path to get here, which is why we have kept it on the down low.”
Ayda, 39, said that although Coco is biologically theirs she was carried by a surrogate mother.
She said: “Family comes in all forms, and this little lady, who is biologically ours, was carried by an incredible surrogate mother, to whom we will be eternally grateful. We are over the moon to have this beautiful baby girl in our lives and so blessed that we live in a world which makes this possible.”
The couple have been appearing as judges on the UK’s X-Factor along with Simon Cowell and One Direction singer Louis Tomlinson.
