Aussie model Robyn Lawley has revealed she has given birth to a baby girl named Ripley.

Lawley, 25, introduced her US-born bub – born on February 26 – to the world via an adorable Instagram snap which depicts herself holding the tiny bub’s hand.

“The new family are doing great, everyone is healthy, happy and looking forward to spending quiet time with their precious new little human,” a rep for the model said.

The Sports Illustrated rookie first revealed she was expecting her first child with partner Everest Schmidt to The Weekly in an EXCLUSIVE interview for our November 2014 issue.

“It wasn’t that big of a shock,” Robyn said. “We were excited when we found out.”

“With modelling, it’s never a good time to fall pregnant, but Everest and I were going to start trying for a family in a few years anyway.”

Shortly before the arrival of her bub Lawley – who grew up in Sydney’s western suburbs – told The Weekly she had recently moved from chilly New York City, where she had lived for almost four years, to the warmer climate of California to raise her family.
