Congratulations are in order for singer Alexandra Burke and her boyfriend, AFC Bournemouth footballer Darren Randolph, as the couple have welcomed their second child into the world!

The pair, who became parents for the first time back in July last year, took to social media to confirm their lovely news, with Alexandra sharing two adorable photos of her baby's tiny hands and feet.

The former X Factor winner wrote: 'Feeling so blessed. We are now a family of four 🥹 Welcome to the world our little peanut 🤍'.

Fans and friends of the pair were quick to comment on the post. Fleur East wrote: 'Wooo! Congratulations mama ❤️❤️', with a fan writing: 'Aww congrats Alex and family! 🥳🥳🥳'.

Another commented: 'Congratulations on the beautiful addition to your family! 🎉👶❤️ Welcoming your baby into the world makes your family of four even more special. Wishing you endless joy, love, and unforgettable moments together💕'. (sic)

A fourth added: 'How wonderful! Congratulations to you all! ❤️'.

Check out which other celebs have welcomed babies in 2023:

Alexandra and Darren announced they were expecting their second child in April this year, just eight months after the singer gave birth to the couple's first.

Sharing cute snaps as she showcased her baby bump at the time, she told fans: 'We are so excited to do this all again 🤍'. (sic)

Following her split from ex-boyfriend Angus McDonald, Alexandra started dating professional goalkeeper Darren in May 2021, with the pair going Instagram official one month later in June.

From that moment on, the pair have been totally loved-up, sharing gushing posts about cute photos of each other to their social media accounts.

Alexandra and Darren have so far chosen to keep both the gender and name of their first child private, so we expect they will do the same for their latest arrival.

Congratulations to Alexandra and Darren on the birth of their second child.
