Kayla Itsines and Tobi Pearce have announced the birth of their baby girl, Arna Leia Pearce.
The couple revealed that their daughter arrived late last week via cesarean and both mum and bub are recovering well.
The fitness stars behind workout app Sweat also took to Instagram to share the happy news and give some touching details about the delivery.
āI just stared into Tobiās eyes the whole time during delivery, nervously whispering āplease let her be healthy, please be okay, please be okayā and Tobi kept repeating āI love you so much ā sheās going to be healthy itās okay just breathe itās okay.ā We both were crying,ā£ā£ā Kayla wrote.
āIn that second, we heard her cry for the first time, the doctors and nurses examined her quickly, bought her over to us and said āshe is absolutely perfectā. My doctor said āLook at that hair and those cheeks! Amazing!'ā

Kayla says Tobi went into ādad modeā straight away.
āI donāt even know how to describe how I felt in that moment. I looked over at Tobi who looked like the proudest Dad Iāve ever seen, with tears running down his face he gave me a kiss on the forehead and whispered āsheās so perfect, I love youā.ā£ā£ā

She also shared that she had a cesarean as recommended by her doctor.
āI was a little bit sore, but after a couple of days I was generally fine, just no lifting other than Arna. Now, I just need to rest, eat good food, drink lots of water and Iāll be okay!ā£ā£ā
The couple has been together for over six years and announced the pregnancy in late December 2018.
āIāve wanted kids ever since I met Tobi and itās something we have always talked about,ā the 27-year-old said. āIt turns out that when we were ready it was just perfect timing. I think he will make the most perfect father, Iāve never seen him so excited about anything. He has already planned the funniest fluffy outfits for our winter baby and he talks to my tummy every morning and night.ā
