Robyn Lawley gives birth

Australia's number one plus-size model, *Robyn Lawley, *has given birth to her first baby, a girl named *Ripley *, in the US.

Lawley, below, shared the news via her Instagram through a black- and-white photo of her holding her newborn daughter's tiny hand between her finger and thumb.

"The new family are doing great, everyone is healthy, happy and looking forward to spending quiet time with their precious new little human," Lawley's rep said yesterday, adding the little girl is "the epitome of contented perfection".

Born in Los Angeles on Thursday, Ripley is the first child for Lawley, 25, and her partner, *Everest Schmidt *. The couple have been together for over four years but the pregnancy wasn't planned.

"It was unplanned and came a little earlier than expected but when I found out I was pregnant, I was so excited," Lawley told Cosmopolitan magazine.

The Sydney- born model didn't tell anyone until she was six months along and continued to work right up until she was about to give birth.
