Katherine Jenkins has given birth to a baby boy named Xander

The singer, 37, shared a picture of her newborn's hand holding on to his dad Andrew's finger.

Welsh beauty Katherine wrote: "Andrew, Aaliyah and I are proud to announce the arrival of our gorgeous son Xander Robert Selwyn Levitas.

"His middle names honour our late fathers who live on in our little ‘Defender of Men’ (Meaning of Xander).

"Our family, our home and are hearts could not be more full of love & we are incredibly grateful for the gift of being parents to these beautiful children. Cwtches [hugs] to you all xxx."

Katherine announced in November that she was pregnant with her second baby with husband Andrew Levitas.

Taking to Instagram, the famous singer revealed she was expecting a baby boy.

She announced the happy news by posting a picture of her daughter wearing a red superhero cape with the caption: "Sidekick coming soon…"

Katherine is already mum to two-year-old daughter Aaliyah Reign with her husband.

"Andrew and I are overjoyed that our family will be growing in 2018 with the addition of our second child – a baby brother for our little superhero Aaliyah!!!," she wrote.

Just weeks before she announced her pregnancy, Katherine told Hello! magazine how much she wanted a second child.

She said: "It's all about timing, but I would really love to have a second child and for Aaliyah to have a sibling, to have a friend in the world.

"My husband and I love being parents and Aaliyah makes us so happy. She's fun, kind and affectionate – and a mummy's girl."

And in an interview with The Sun, Katherine said she hoped to be a role model for her young daughter.

“Having a daughter I have a responsibility to show her that you can be a strong, successful woman without having to flash the flesh," she said.

“I want her to see that it’s all about hard work, determination and studying.

“I want my daughter to know you can be success and you don’t have to post those kind of pictures or dress that kind of way."
