Robin Thicke and girlfriend April Love Geary have welcomed their first child.

The Blurred Lines singer took to Instagram last night to announce that their baby, Mia Love Thicke, was born on February 22 at 13.33pm.

Thicke also issued a thank you to God and to April.

The video shows the singer in a hospital room cradling and whispering to the newborn while she cries.

40-year-old Thicke and 22-year-old Geary first announced their news via Instagram six months ago.

April shared a photo of an ultrasound saying that she was “very excited” to tell everyone that she and Robin were expecting a baby.

The model said that the baby was due on March 1, so clearly Mia decided to arrive a bit early.

Fair play to her.

Robin and April have been together for three years.

Thicke was married to actress Paula Patton for nine years before they separated in 2014 and subsequently divorced in 2015, however reports have suggested that this divorce is not legally binding.

They have one son together – Julian.

During their separation, Thicke embarked on a tour to try and win Paula back.

He released an album entitled ‘Paula’ and spent many months begging for her forgiveness amidst rumours that he had been unfaithful.

At the Billboard Awards, Thicke performed his song, Get Her Back, and later at the BET Awards he said: “I miss you and I’m sorry.”

Patton later told Vanity Fair that there was “a lot of love” in her marriage and that “there always will be.”

She said:

“I’ve grown a lot. It’s been a long year and a lot of challenges. I live in a place of gratitude (and am) thankful for everything I have.”
