Matthew Wright and his wife Amelia welcome their first child together
Cassady Frances Wright was born on Friday.
Broadcaster Matthew Wright and his wife Amelia have welcomed their first child together.
The 53-year-old broadcaster and Amelia revealed last year they were expecting a daughter after their final attempt at IVF succeeded.
Amelia gave birth to Cassady Frances Wright on Friday night.
The couple told Hello! magazine: “Mother and baby (and father) are doing very well.”
Cassady was born at 6.22pm, the magazine said. Wright, who stood down from his Channel 5 talk show The Wright Stuff in June after 18 years, told Hello! in September about his excitement to become a father.
He said: “I’m excited – and terrified. I’ve only ever held two babies in my entire life! Now I can envisage becoming the primary carer when Amelia returns to work.”
The couple married in 2010.
They have tried to have children several times over the years after Amelia, a record company executive, had an ectopic pregnancy in 2009 having fallen pregnant with twins.
