‘Finally together on the outside,’ she gushed following the birth.

In April, Venus spoke candidly about her fears of having another baby during the coronavirus outbreak. The star has two other children with husband James.
‘Being pregnant comes with a lot of emotions you didn’t think you had. Each baby I’ve carried has been different. This one during COVID-19 has been a real struggle,’ she shared in a heartfelt post to Instagram.
The lawyer admitted she found social isolation ‘tough’ and she was ‘afraid’ of giving birth during a pandemic, as well as being stressed about homeschooling her two daughters Giselle, 10, and Sophia, six.
