Rove and Tasma welcome their first child!

It’s a girl for Rove McManus and Tasma Walton!

The pair today announced the arrival of their baby girl named Ruby Aurelia McManus, who was born in Sydney at 9:01am on December 16.

“We are extremely happy to announce that we have become parents to a little girl,” they said in a statement.

Ruby, whose middle name Aurelia means ‘golden’, was born a couple of weeks ahead of her January 2 due date weighing a petite 2.47kg.

“It’s still hard to believe she’s here. It was love at first sight. She is a beautiful, life-changing bundle,” Tasma said.

Proud dad Rove says he has already started his daddy duties and has even changed his first nappy.

“I feel I have entered a new life that consists of mainly feeding and wiping. But I couldn’t be happier,” he said.

“While she arrived slightly earlier than expected, she is healthy and more importantly it means she’ll be here to spend Christmas with us, which is the best present you could wish for.”
