Tennis star Johanna Konta has announced the birth of her first child.
The former British number one, who retired from the sport in December 2021, shared a photo of herself cradling her newborn in an Instagram update on Tuesday.
The sportswoman, 31, revealed her daughter was born on Monday and is called Emmeline.
Captioning the sweet snap, she wrote: 'Baby Emmeline 12/09/22' followed by a heart and a waving emoji.
Johanna married her film producer and photographer husband Jackson Wade in December.
Johanna revealed her pregnancy in May, with an Instagram photo of her showing off her blossoming bump.
The sweet photo showed the athlete dressed in sportswear in the doorway of the home she shares with Jackson, and tenderly cradling her bump.
Beaming for the camera, Johanna captioned the snap: 'Busy baking my own little muffin right now.'
In January, while working as a co-commentator for Eurosport on the Australian Open, Johanna called out select tennis journalists for asking her if her recent retirement was linked to a potential pregnancy.
Johanna announced her retirement in December at the age of 30 after three Grand Slam semi-finals and being the top-ranked British player for six years.
Speaking to The Telegraph, Johanna said that she resented being asked if her decision to retire was linked to her plans for a family.
'As a woman, you start getting to a certain age, hitting certain milestones and then it is straightaway assumed – 'okay, well, when's the baby coming?', she said.
'I don't think it's done with any harm, but it would be nice to talk about my career and things like that – like my male counterparts in the sport,' she added.
'I'm not sure they're asking Rafa Nadal when he was finally going to marry his girlfriend before he did, or when he is going to have kids.'
The Sydney-born star said: 'One, it's a very personal decision and, you know, I think it can be a bit insensitive, especially for people who maybe don't want to [have children] or have other difficulties'.
Johanna and Jackson married at a London ceremony in December, seven months after announcing their engagement. She revealed she had married two weeks after announcing her retirement from tennis.
Johanna wrote in her caption: 'Two weeks of being a Mrs.'
The Ellesse spokesperson revealed she was to marry her long-term boyfriend - and showed off the huge sparkler that sealed the deal - in May, posting on Instagram: 'Several weeks ago, I woke up 30 and engaged'.
Johanna has been dating Jackson, who owns his own media business, for several years and the pair share a home together in London.
Johanna revealed the proposal, on her 30th birthday on May 17, had been a 'semi-surprise'. A second photo posted offered fans a closer look at the vintage-looking diamond ring.
Eagle-eyed fans had already spotted the sparkler as she arrived in May to play at the French Open, where she was knocked out in the first round.
In a statement on Twitter titled 'Grateful', the 2017 Wimbledon semi-finalist announced her retirement and counted herself to be 'incredibly fortunate' despite a frustrating 2021 overshadowed by problems caused by Covid.
Johanna revealed in August that she was unsure if she should take the Covid-19 vaccine, after turning down the jab before testing positive during a period of self-isolation - adding that Covid had affected her physically and mentally.
She missed Wimbledon and the Olympics due to problems with Covid support bubbles and contracting the virus herself.
'It was a combination of feeling quite ill so I was sleeping or just existing for a few days,' she said.
'There was also a period there where I had to work through my own feelings of injustice at all of it, like: 'Why now?' sort of feeling. I needed a bit of space and a bit of licking my wounds.'
When asked if she regretted not taking the vaccine, she said: 'I don't know, I'm not too sure.'
Australian-born Johanna, who switched allegiance from Australia to Great Britain in 2012, also detailed recently how she has had 'heart palpitations' and feels 'lightheaded' during matches.
'I have heart palpitations sometimes. Basically, my heartbeat quickens for no reason. I feel a little dizzy.
'The first time this happened was in Birmingham in 2017; the second time was in Beijing in 2018. The third time was three months ago when I was doing my training block on clay at my home in London.
'So I wouldn't say that there is a massive common denominator. There have been stressful situations and stress-free situations.'
In announcing news of her retirement in December, Johanna penned an emotional statement on social media, saying: 'Grateful. This is the word that I've probably used the most during my career, and is the word that I feel explains it best at the end.
'My playing career has come to an end, and I am so incredibly grateful for the career that it turned out to be.
'All the evidence pointed towards me not 'making' it in this profession. However my luck materialised in the people that came into my life and impacted my existence in ways that transcended tennis.
'I am so incredibly grateful for these people. You know who you are.
'Through my own resilience and through the guidance of others, I got to live my dreams. I got to become what I wanted and said as a child.
'How incredible fortunate I count myself to be. How grateful I am.'
Johanna reached the last four at Wimbledon, the Australian Open and the French Open while also reaching the quarters at the US Open.
Her biggest title came at the Miami Open in 2017, while she also reached the quarter-finals at the 2016 Rio Olympics - she finished her career with four career titles, the last of which came at the Nottingham Open in June.
She last played at the Western & Southern Open in August, where she lost in the first round - her ranking has since dropped to 113.
