Baby Spice and boyfriend welcome a baby boy
Emma Bunton gave birth to her own Baby Spice today - a boy called Beau.
The Spice Girl, 31, and boyfriend Jade Jones's first baby was born at 11.12am at London's private Portland Hospital.
Bunton's spokesman said she was "doing fine" and the first request the singer had following the birth was for Coca-Cola and flapjacks.
Delivering the good news outside the hospital, the beaming new father said:
"Baby's had a baby now.
"It's pretty good, just amazing. We're both over the moon and absolutely thrilled to bits to have our little boy with us now."
Jones said Beau was "beautiful".
He said:
"His name is French for handsome and he is definitely very handsome.
"He weighted 7lb 15oz and is just gorgeous. Emma is upstairs doing really well, just recovering and bonding with the baby.
"Both are having a little nap right now.
"I'm just pleased to have our little baby boy with us. I'm over the moon. I don't want to miss a single second without him."
He joked of the new arrival: "He looks a bit like both of us actually, so he's a very lucky boy.
"It [the birth] still feels like a minute ago. It's an amazing feeling, which I can't describe."
Bunton was diagnosed with endometriosis in 2004, a condition which can make it difficult to conceive.
She and Jones, a former member of Nineties boy band Damage, have been together for eight years and finally moved in together last year.
