“Welcome to the world Gracie-Mae Kathleen Thorne (Kathleen named after my Nanna),” she captioned a photo of herself holding their newborn. “More beautiful than we could have ever imagined ♥️ After a few complications with baby’s breathing she was admitted to NICU where she is being looked after but is doing so well and will hopefully be home with us in a couple of days, We could not have asked for a more stronger, amazing baby girl we are so in love.”

Simone’s boyfriend also took to Instagram to express his excitement, sharing the same photo with the caption: “Welcome Gracie Mae. Words can not describe the emotions and feelings I have for these two girls. After a big scare last night after birth where Gracie Mae is recovering well now to finally hold our baby girl is the most surreal and special feeling you will ever get. So Proud of you both and love you with everything I have.” 

A day before Gracie-Mae was born, Simone shared her final pregnancy update with a selfie from her hospital bed.

Unfortunately, she endured a pretty tough pregnancy and experienced severe morning sickness which left her unable to eat anything except cereal, bread, pasta, juice and icy poles.

“My sickness has been so bad, like really bad, it’s been horrible. I’ve just been at home all the time. At first had a lot of pains and things like that which were quite worrying but obviously it’s all good but my sickness has took over my life. I thought it would go by now, it went for a couple of weeks and then came back,” she told her followers on Instagram. “My boobs have gone the size of melons, they don’t fit in anything. I don’t like them this big!” 

Simone most recently appeared on our screens in 2018, causing quite the stir on the second season of Bachelor in Paradise. As we know, she left the Fijian island dating former Bachelorette star, Apolo Jackson. However, after the show wrapped, the couple went their separate ways.
