A MARRIED At First Sight bride has revealed the safe arrival of her baby girl alongside an adorable picture of the newborn.
The E4 star, 31, told her followers her tot’s unique name in a sweet picture-post uploaded to Instagram.
Back in May, Ella May Ding revealed she was expecting her first baby.
The happy news came a year after the Married At First Sight Australia star, who featured in the 2022 series, revealed her surprise marriage to Guy Palermo.
The proud mum was quick to take to her social media page to upload an image of daughter Pia staying snug in a white knit baby grow and matching boots.
The black and white image showed her looking perfectly content as she lay on her back on a blanket, gazing over one of her shoulders.
In her caption, mum of one Ella gushed: “Pia May Palermo… say hi to everyone.
“She entered earth-side 18.11.25 and wow I’m obsessed with this bubble.”
Another snap showed chuffed dad Guy giving her a kiss on the cheek before Ella zoomed in on the little girls cosy footwear.
Her fellow MAFS Australia alum Eden Harper was quick to reply to the post and put: “Love her sm already.”
ELLA’S MAFS JOURNEY
Ella married Mitch Eynaud in the 2022 instalment of the matchmaking show,
The former couple made it to the final vows where he decided to end the union, though they did briefly get back together and attended the series reunion as a couple.
Ultimately, the relationship didn’t work out, but Ella didn’t have to wait long to find her Prince Charming.
Guy and Ella went public in April 2023 and, just a year later, they tied the knot in a surprise ceremony.
Prior to their nuptials, Ella opened up about the possibility of becoming a mother and said she wasn’t in a hurry.
She then stunned fans as she revealed she was expecting back in May.
Mafs couples that have stood the test of time
Loved-up Tayah Victoria and Adam Aveling of series six fame had the first Mafs baby.
The pair couldn’t keep their hands off each other on the programme and quickly found their feet in the outside world, moving into Adam’s Doncaster home.
Just 18 months after meeting, the couple welcomed their daughter Beau.
Season five couple Michelle Walder and Owen Jenkins also managed to make their marriage work away from the cameras and had their first child in December.
Teacher Michelle, 29, has no regrets about taking part in the experiment. She told us: “I just feel very lucky and thankful that it has worked out – and excited for everything to come.”
Michelle and Owen were both sick of dating apps when they applied in 2019.
Owen recalled: “I had been out for some drinks with a friend after work.
“While he was out for a cigarette I was scrolling on Instagram waiting for him to come back in.
“The MAFS advert was the last thing I saw, and I joked, ‘Wouldn’t it be funny if I signed up?’
“A few beers later when I was back at home I sent in the application, and the rest is history.”
Another couple to make Mafs UK history is Zoe Clifton and Jenna Robinson.
Despite a slight rocky start, where they clashed over Jenna’s vegan lifestyle, the show’s first same sex pairing are still going strong.
They even have a successful podcast together called Life With a Pod.
Jenna shed light on being involved in the show earlier this year when she told us: “We’re not legally married, and I never felt like we were. I definitely feel the process makes you take the relationship a lot more seriously and having the help of the experts… if you can survive that process it sets a firm foundation for a long-lasting relationship.”
In a social media post, she wrote: “Somewhere between healing and hustling, the next chapter quietly chose us.
“Baby Palermo you’ve already made our story sweeter and given us the best news of 2025 yet.”
