Towie’s Mario Falcone reveals he’s become a dad for the second time as he shares sweet snap of new arrival

TV star Mario Falcone has announced he has become a dad for the second time - to a stunning baby girl.

The TOWIE legend shared his joy with fans on Instagram along with a sweet snap of his new arrival.

Proud father Mario, 34, posted a shot of wife Becky in hospital cradling their little girl.

She also cuddled their eldest son Parker, who looked besotted with his sister in the shot.

Mario wrote alongside the sweet shot: "Cali Roux Falcone 💕
The Falcone family welcomed a beautiful little girl into the world on 29/05/23 at 10.19am. She is perfect."

Becky, 33, and Mario, revealed they were expecting their second baby last year after suffering a devastating miscarriage.

The pair broke the joyful news in December, after opening up about undergoing a third round of IVF to fall pregnant.

Becky and Mario - who were married in a stunning Italian ceremony last year - already share son Parker, four.

It comes after Mario broke his baby news to his famous sister Giovanna Fletcher on her Happy Mum Happy Baby podcast, alongside their other sibling Giorgina.

During the podcast, Mario opened up on his mental health and teased: "Even now, with the next baby that's coming," to which they all cheered.

Mario continued: "This baby that's coming, we had IVF.

"That was a really really ... I had this thing in my head when we were trying for baby two, we had this added pressure we were letting Parker down.

"He's so ready for a sibling - when he comes home from his cousins and he loves being there, he says, 'Why haven't I got a brother or sister?'

"That literally kills you as you're like, 'I can give you anything you want as my son, but this is the one thing I actually can't give you'."

Mario spoke openly about how Becky had an embryo implanted but suffered bleeding at seven and eight weeks, before ultimately suffering a tragic miscarriage.

He added: "That was probably the hardest thing we had to deal with in our relationship.

"It's a disappointment of yourself, because we got really excited about telling our families at Christmas, we had little cards made that unfortunately arrived the next day, and then telling Parker - but we hadn't told him on that one."
