Married At First Sight season two favourite Mark Hughes is officially a father!

The reality star confirmed he and his new partner, Marie Angeleski, welcomed a daughter together on Monday, November 20th, called Stevie Ashton Hughes.

Alongside a collage of their new bundle of joy, Mark revealed how thrilled he was to become a dad.

“Proud Dad alert!! Proud to introduce my little girl Stevie Ashton Hughes born on 20/11/2017,” he began.

“She has been awesome and has me wrapped around her little finger! @marieangeleski has been amazing mother and feeling very lucky with my new little family,” Mark signed off.

Marie shared the same photos and mused: “#loveatfirstsight #wearefamily #truelove we welcomed our beautiful little girl Stevie Ashton Hughes into the world at 8.12am on the 20th November weighing 3.2kgs.”

“@mark.hughes_ has been an amazing father and we love her so much.”

Mark’s MAFS co-star Clare Verrall was quick to send her congrats, writing: “She is so cute!! She really does have gorgeous big lips – looks like you have a natural Kylie Jenner on your hands.”

Mark found fame after falling in love with Christie Jordee on last year’s series of the Channel 9 dating show.

The pair were determined to give their romance a shot, however a few months after the show had wrapped, they confirmed to Woman’s Day their romance had come to an end after long distance proved too much of a challenge, with Christie based in Sydney and Mark on a property in rural Victoria.

Mark has since found love with Marie.

“We were starting to fall in love but our heads got in front of our hearts,” Christie explained, admitting it was a tough decision to end their seven-month relationship.

When Now To Love caught up with the Sydney business owner in March, she claimed that mark wasn’t actually a farmer at all!

“That was all lies! He’s in construction and we lived on his father’s farm,” she told us.

Mark and Christie tried to make their romance last after the show stopped but they ultimately parted ways.

Mark isn’t the only MAFS alumni entering parenthood.

Last month, we revealed season three truck driver Susan Rawlings is pregnant with her first child after meeting her baby daddy online.

Congratulations to Mark and Marie on the safe arrival of gorgeous Stevie!
