Chrissy Teigen and John Legend have welcomed their first child together.
The model announced on Instagram on Sunday morning that her baby daughter had been born on Thursday, April 14, and revealed her unique name.
'She's here! Luna Simone Stephens, we are so in love with you! And sleepy. Very sleepy,' Chrissy wrote in the caption.

Chrissy Teigen has just given birth to a baby girl called Luna. Aww!
There will be no more bump dressing for Chrissy, but we can still reminisce about her fabulous pregnancy wardrobe.
The 30-year-old shared a photo of a monitor which revealed the baby weighed in at 6lbs 11oz, smaller than average. 
John also tweeted: 'Our new love is here! Luna Simone Stephens, born on Thursday, the 14th. We couldn't be happier!'
Chrissy later thanked fans for the kind messages on Twitter - but not before cracking a joke. She wrote: 'To everyone asking, john is healing perfectly.'
The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue beauty added: 'Thank you for all the well wishes!!! we are so happy and excited! i dunno what to tweet now. does my twitter change? this is so awkward.'

Meanwhile Kris Jenner congratulated the couple on Instagram, sharing a picture of the new parents with the caption: 'Congrats @chrissyteigen and @johnlegend!!!! Can't wait to meet baby Luna!' 
Luna means 'moon' in Latin, and is also one of the names of Artemis the moon goddess in mythology. Simone is the feminine form of Simon. 
Chrissy has spoken in the past about her fertility struggles, and used IVF to conceive her child, revealing she hand-picked a female embryo to ensure she and John would have a daughter.
'Thank you all': Chrissy thanked fans for their kind words - but not before cracking a joke about her husband

The Lip Sync Battle host told People: 'I've made this decision...Not only am I having a girl, I picked the girl from her little embryo. I picked her and was like, "Let's put in the girl."'
Before saying that a son 'will come along', she added: 'It excited me to see... just the thought of seeing him with a little girl. I think he deserves a little girl. I think he deserves that bond.'
Last month, Chrissy revealed that her baby name got the presidential seal of approval.

'I asked President Obama if he liked one of our name choices and he said he did,' she said while appearing on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
'John isn't sold on the name, so I figured if [the president] liked it, then John would be sold on it. He says it's too "Hollywood".'
Before welcoming her first child, Chrissy celebrated with two baby showers: one in New York City and a second in Los Angeles, which was hosted by her friend Kim Kardashian. 
While Chrissy did not reveal her due date ahead of the birth, she dropped a big hint that she would welcome her daughter in April when she moved the release of her cookbook Cravings forward to February.
