“He’s here!” she wrote.

“Mickey Jones born today weighing 7lb 1oz and he’s absolutely gorgeous. Welcome to our quirky little family, sweet boy. We’re so glad you’re here safe.”

She also shared an IG Story of herself and Mickey spending their first night together.

This is Ellis Bextor and Jones’s fifth child together.

They also have 13-year-old Sonny, nine-year-old Kit, five-year-old Ray, and three-year-old Jesse. Their oldest, Sonny, was born just eight months after the pair started dating.

She announced the news while speaking to Chris Evans on BBC Radio 2 last year while chatting about the release of her newest album, The Song Diaries.

“The album will come out around the same time as my fifth infant because I’m having my fifth baby. Mental!” she said.

Ellis Bextor and Jones met while working together on tour.

Jones is the bassist of UK pop band The Feeling.
