Mo Gilligan has reportedly welcomed his baby with his fiancée Taia Tulher, just months after it was revealed that he had fathered a ‘secret love child’ with an ex.
The comedian, 37, and the model, 28, are alleged to have welcomed their little one over the summer, but are choosing to keep their name and gender private.
On Friday, the couple attended the Labrum London show during London Fashion Week, where Taia was notably spotted without the blossoming baby bump she had been seen with in her Instagram photos earlier this year.
And a source has now confirmed to The Sun: ‘Mo and Taia have their baby and are in a bubble of bliss. She gave birth quite a few weeks ago now and she has been getting back to normal life.
‘They are keeping their baby’s gender and name for just close friends and family but they’ve been sharing the news of the baby’s arrival with people now.’
Daily Mail has contacted Mo’s representatives for comment.

Meanwhile, Taia’s friends all appeared to confirm the happy news, as they took to the comments of one of her latest Instagram posts to praise her on being the ‘most beautiful mommy’.
Writing in Portuguese, they gushed: ‘Mommy is so beautiful’; ‘The most beautiful mother’; ‘The cutest mom’; ‘The most beautiful mommy ever!!’
Taia had first revealed her pregnancy in an Instagram post back in March, but had never revealed her partner’s identity.
Revealing her growing bump, she captioned her post: ‘Today, I carry the love that made me, the love I’ve always known… and the love I’ve only just begun to understand.
‘For a long time, I didn’t know when I would share this. But now feels right. Because today, on Mother’s Day, I get to celebrate my own mother – and the tiny soul who has already made me one, too.’
The couple’s baby joy comes just weeks after it was revealed that Mo had popped the question, with Taia seen wearing a dazzling diamond ring in recent Instagram posts.
The Daily Mail understands the presenter ‘went the full nine yards’ to propose to the influencer, after two years of dating.
A source said: ‘Mo went the full nine yards in proposing to Taia but kept quiet about it publicly. They have been telling friends that they are engaged and everyone is really happy for them.

‘He and Taia are so in love and really excited to be starting a family together. They already live together in London so it felt like the natural next step to get engaged.
The source told The Sun: ‘There aren’t immediate plans for a wedding yet, though. The baby will keep their hands full for a while.’
It is Mo’s second child, after it was claimed he fathered son Rudi during his brief relationship with Selina Christoforou.
The revelation came to light after the model publicly blasted the TV personality for failing to offer any support, claiming he showed no interest in their child since his birth in January 2024.
In a viral TikTok video, Selina, 35, claimed she could ‘count on her fingers and toes’ how many times Mo had seen the child over the last 17 months.
Shared her version of events, she said: ‘I just finally posted on Instagram about my son’s dad so for your information…
‘If you don’t follow my Instagram I don’t blame you. Um, Mo Gilligan is his “dad”. Very much in quotation marks.
‘I’ve kept that for nine very long months of being pregnant on my own, bringing up my son on my own.

‘Pretty much ignored his existence for the first year of his life, barely bothers with him now – can probably use my fingers and toes to count how many times he’s even f***ing met him, you know. I kept thinking no, it’ll get better. It has to get better.
‘Rudi, that’s my son, he’s so unbelievable, he’s the most amazing child. He’s such a f***ing joy and I just kept thinking that would be enough.
‘I completely get you can’t make someone be a dad and he made it also very clear he didn’t want to be a dad and seemed to kind of change his mind.’
Selina is said to have become pregnant after dating Mo after they met online, and decided to keep the unborn child, despite it coming as a shock to the ‘careful’ pair.
A source told The Sun: ‘Mo met Selina after messaging her on social media and they hung out casually for a few months.
Following Selina’s blistering attack, Mo then shared a rare video of his son, showing the little boy enjoying some quality time with his father
‘She found out she was pregnant in May 2023 and it was quite a shock for them both because they’d been fairly careful. But she wanted to have the baby, despite the fact they weren’t actually a couple.
‘She adores their son and Mo sees him semi-regularly. Now he’s about to become a dad for a second time and he’s over the moon.’
Following Selina’s blistering attack, Mo then shared a rare video of his son, showing the little boy enjoying some quality time with his father.
The brief black-and-white clip featured the youngster, whose identity was concealed, gazing up at the camera while playing a game.
