Rachel and her husband Pasha Kovalev welcomed Maven on 15 December at their home. The new mum announced the incredible news in a tweet, writing: "Two weeks after we were expecting her, this little one finally made an appearance! Miss Maven (one who understands) Aria (lioness) Riley Kovaleva arrived on Sunday morning weighing in at 7lbs 4."
The 33-year-old later added: "After keeping us waiting she came so fast we didn’t get to hospital and was born in our bathroom with our amazing doula and wonderful St Mary's midwives rushing over to be with us just in time. She's absolutely perfect and Pasha and I are in newborn bliss. Couldn’t be more in love."
Rachel revealed that she has already given her little girl a sweet nickname. The Countdown star shared another gorgeous close-up photo of the little tot resting in her dad's arms, simply captioning the snap: "Mave", followed by a series of double heart emojis.
