Marnie Simpson reveals newborn daughter's very unusual name and shares first picture
The Geordie Shore star, 33, announced that she had welcomed a baby girl with her husband husband Casey Johnson on Friday.
Today, she revealed the baby's very unusual name - Kixee.
The star wrote: 'She's finally here and she's perfect.'
'We have never felt so lucky.'
She added that her baby was born on Thursday at 11:57 am, weighing a healthy 6 pounds and 12 ounces.
Kixee is Marnie's third child with Casey, who she met on Single AF in 2017, having previously welcomed sons, Rox, five, and Oax, two.
Sharing a selfie in bed announcing the birth, Marine wrote on Friday: 'Baby girl is here safe & sound! We're Both doing really well and recovering. Shes so beautiful and perfec! [sic]
'I feel so blessed and still feels surreal I have a daughter. Gonna enjoy this baby bubble and get back to socials once I've recovered fully. Thanks for all the amazing messages it really means so much.'
Marnie's third pregnancy came as a surprise after she previously ruled out having another baby after experiencing complications during her earlier pregnancies.
The star announced the unexpected news on Instagram with a black and white photograph of her husband cradling her growing bump.
She previously said: 'I would not go to three. I think you've got to find the balance for yourselves.
'We want to enjoy our lives as well. We've not waited too long to have kids and I feel like having two, we can give them the best life possible.'
Marnie was diagnosed with a chronic UTI in 2016 which got worse after giving birth to Rox in 2019.
The situation was so bad that Marine was 'shocked' when Casey proposed to her 'at her worst' both 'mentally and physically.'
She said she couldn't believe the former X Factor singer wanted to marry her after she spent months suffering from the painful bladder condition.
The reality star said she had to spend 'thousands of pounds' on doctors' consultations' she was eventually diagnosed with Trigonitis in 2020.
Trigonitis is a condition where the triangular piece of tissue located in the lower part of the bladder becomes inflamed.
Speaking about her engagement, Marnie told MailOnline: 'It was a really emotional moment because I think there were times this last year that I just couldn't even believe Casey was staying with me.
'I was in such a bad way mentally, emotionally and physically; I couldn't believe he even wanted to be with me. I was in such a bad way.
'When he asked me to marry him I was honestly shocked because I thought 'you're asking me to marry you when I'm literally at my worst?'
'For him to ask me to marry him at that point I thought, 'What? You're asking me to marry you when I'm this ill?' It completely shocked me. He said he loved me unconditionally and it was just a real special moment.'

Celebrate the Lionesses' win at Women's Euro 2025 with this England merch
Defending the title they secured in 2022, the Lionesses have won Euro 2025. The tournament concluded in Basel last night (Sunday 27 July) with a dramatic penalty shootout. Fresh from defeating Wales, Sweden and Italy, England came out on top against World Cup title holders Spain in a tense match that went into extra time. Dubbed the 'comeback queens' throughout the tournament, Alessia Russo equalised the game before penalties, where Chloe Kelly scored the winning goal. Managed by Sarina Wiegman, the side has once again secured their place in history as both the first senior England football team to win a major trophy on foreign soil and the first to win back-to-back titles. Defeating Germany 2-1 in the final match at Wembley Stadium in 2022, the team won England's first European Championship. Scenes of celebrations will take place across the country after another win, with an open-top bus parade scheduled as part of the homecoming event in London on Tuesday afternoon. Whether you're planning to show your support for the team in person, watch the celebrations from home or want a souvenir from the tournament, take a look at the best merch below. Inspired by vintage sportswear and various Lioness kits from tournaments past, this Nike shirt is designed with sweat-wicking technology to keep you comfortable while playing. The England 2025 home design uses a colourful red and blue ombre with blue panelling and the Nike and England logos. It's no surprise that Nineties bucket hats have returned this summer. The unisex style boasts a blue and red printed design with the England logo taking pride of place on the front. It could just as easily be worn to the Oasis Live tour – if you're one of the lucky masses that secured tickets. Another retro throwback, this windrunner nods to the original 80s design with an English twist. Made from 75% recycled fibres, it's great for evening kick-offs once the sun goes down. This Nike jacket for the Euros boasts a fun burgundy and navy all-over print, complete with a funnel neck and zip-up design. The English rose detailing pays homage to the football team, and an England and Nike logo are also featured on the front. The relaxed fit makes it perfect for year-round off-duty wear. This oversized T-shirt is a laidback way to show your support for the England team in the Women's Euro tournament 2025, whether at home or away. The black design features the signature Nike tick with 'Lioness' typography above.

Ella Toone's emotional tribute to late father moments after Euro 2025 final win
Ella Toone paid tribute to her late father Nick moments after England won Euro 2025, in what was the midfielder's first trophy since he passed away in September last year. Toone was in tears after England's shootout victory over Spain and looked towards the sky as she was hugged by Alessia Russo, Keira Walsh and Alex Greenwood. Toone later posted on Instagram that there happened to be a spare seat next to her mum during the final, adding: 'If that's not a sign I don't know what is'. The 25-year-old also uploaded a picture with Beth Mead, who lost her mother June to ovarian cancer 18 months ago, saying: 'We did it for our angels in the sky'. Toone and Mead have shared a special bond during the tournament by supporting each other through grief and posed with their Euro 2025 medals. 'My dad, I went up to see my family and my mum she said there was a spare seat next to her,' Toone later said. 'He was there and that was the sign I was looking for today. My family, my dad, everyone who has got me here today, they have been my support network from the very start.' Manchester United midfielder Toone is now a two-time European champion with England after starting the Euro 2025 final against Spain. 'The girls who have won twice, for the ones who've never won it before, I'm so happy for them,' captain Leah Williamson said. 'What an honour to be in this time. 'I believe it but I'm struggling. Everything we say, try and live by, we do, and every single person who shows up every time. We stuck to the game plan. 'So many players that have done so much, they give everything, before we even get to the football bit. 'I feel I should be saying something monumental, but I just don't have the words. I'm so proud, and I feel so lucky. Everyone turned up today, and that's what happens. It's staying home.'

My ex-husband of 12 years left for my SISTER after I couldn't have kids – now I'm babysitting their kid at the wedding
A WOMAN has revealed the jaw-dropping reason she's spending the day babysitting, while her ex-husband marries her sister. In a viral TikTok, content creator Chloe Cotterell recounted the explosive story, but made clear she's telling someone else's tale, not her own. 2 And it's one that's left viewers completely stunned. The anonymous woman, whose identity Chloe keeps private, opens up about her 12-year marriage to her now ex, who she refers to simply as Mark. The couple had been together for over a decade and were desperate for children. But after struggling to conceive, things started to unravel. She said: 'I'd like to think that was the breaking point in our marriage, because we both wanted kids so badly.' She believed, aside from that pain, their relationship was solid. But one ordinary Tuesday, Mark came home from work and asked for a divorce out of the blue. Heartbroken and confused, she turned to her sister, her closest confidante, for support. But that, she now says, was a 'big mistake.' Although she still doesn't know if her sister and husband had been secretly involved before the divorce, what happened next made things crystal clear. Coldplay fan who filmed CEO 'cheating' with HR chief at gig takes swipe at couple As the divorce dragged on, partly because she earned significantly more than Mark and he was, according to her, 'trying to take the majority of my money'. She discovered her sister and ex were in fact officially seeing each other. Before the papers were even signed. 'It was such a shock,' she said. 'I was absolutely distraught.' But now, some time has passed and with her ex and sister tying the knot, she's able to see it in a very different light. She revealed the couple now have a child together and she would be on auntie duty, babysitting their love child through the wedding ceremony. Despite the shocking betrayal, she says she's not bitter. In fact, she's surprisingly upbeat about the whole thing. She said: 'I've escaped a lifetime of hurt with that man. And honestly, I think it's hilarious my sister's so desperate, she ended up with my ex.' Now, with a new chapter ahead, she's hoping the wedding brings at least one silver lining. 'Let's hope there's some hot single men at the wedding,' she laughed. 'Because I need one.' The TikTok has gone viral, racking up thousands of comments from viewers urging her to get revenge smartly. One user said: "Whoever's story this is, is stronger than me. I would never see or speak to them ever again". Another added: "I am gobsmacked, I would never speak to my sister again". While a third fan revealed a similar situation: "My Mum divorced my Dad and then married his identical twin brother 3 months later". It seems betrayal within the family is more common than you might think. Recently, a woman ran to TikTok begging for help after discovering her husband had cheated on her with her little sister. After finding out her little sister had gone through a difficult break-up and lost her job, she let her come and stay with her and her husband, trusting her sister completely. But that trust was shattered after she walked into the kitchen one afternoon and saw something that left her sick to her stomach. Meanwhile, not everyone handles cheating so calmly. A mum has got the ultimate revenge on her cheating ex after he threatened to rob the home she lives in with his kid. The furious woman has gone viral after destroying her partner's designer clothes in a blaze of paint-splattered glory. Four red flags your partner is cheating Private Investigator Aaron Bond from BondRees revealed four warning signs your partner might be cheating. They start to take their phone everywhere with them In close relationships, it's normal to know each other's passwords and use each other's phones, if their phone habits change then they may be hiding something. Aaron says: "If your partner starts changing their passwords, starts taking their phone everywhere with them, even around the house or they become defensive when you ask to use their phone it could be a sign of them not being faithful." "You should also look at how they place their phone down when not in use. If they face the phone with the screen facing down, then they could be hiding something." They start telling you less about their day When partners cheat they can start to avoid you, this could be down to them feeling guilty or because it makes it easier for them to lie to you. "If you feel like your partner has suddenly begun to avoid you and they don't want to do things with you any more or they stop telling you about their day then this is another red flag." "Partners often avoid their spouses or tell them less about their day because cheating can be tough, remembering all of your lies is impossible and it's an easy way to get caught out," says Aaron. Their libido changes Your partner's libido can change for a range of reasons so it may not be a sure sign of cheating but it can be a red flag according to Aaron. Aaron says: "Cheaters often have less sex at home because they are cheating, but on occasions, they may also have more sex at home, this is because they feel guilty and use this increase in sex to hide their cheating. You may also find that your partner will start to introduce new things into your sex life that weren't there before." They become negative towards you Cheaters know that cheating is wrong and to them, it will feel good, this can cause tension and anxiety within themselves which they will need to justify. "To get rid of the tension they feel inside they will try to convince themselves that you are the problem and they will become critical of you out of nowhere. Maybe you haven't walked the dog that day, put the dishes away or read a book to your children before bedtime. A small problem like this can now feel like a big deal and if you experience this your partner could be cheating," warns Aaron.
