Jessica revealed she was pregnant with the pair’s first baby in June, nine months after TOWIE alumni Mike‘s prison release.
The telly star was jailed after he was caught with £70K worth of cocaine.
The new black and white snaps mark the start of the pair’s happy chapter, with the pair’s tot seen in a white baby grow and sleeping in a crochet cover-up in her crib.
Another image sees her swathed in a ‘baby Hassini’ blanket covered in teddy bears.
Proud dad Mike is then seen walking out of the maternity ward doors with his baby in her carry cot.
In her proud caption on her shared Instagram post, mum Jessica went on to reveal the tot’s name.
She wrote: “Introducing Orla Florence Hassini.
“Born 10.10.2024 at 8:52am, weighing 6lb 6oz.
“A love beyond belief—our hearts are so full.
“You’ve changed our world, baby girl.”
Mike’s former TOWIE co-stars were quick to offer their best wishes, with Georgia Kousoulou posting: “I’m just so happy for you both.
“Bring on the memories with our baby girls.”
Former TOWIE star Billie Shephard also wrote: “Huge congratulations to you all she is Perfect lots of love.”
Mario Falcone then put: “Congratulations mate.”
Previously, Jessica shared pictures of the baby scan on Instagram to announce their upcoming arrival.
A source at the time told the Daily Mail: “Family has always been very important to [Mike] and knowing he’s finally going to have a baby means the world to both him and Jessica.
“Going to prison massively changed his perspective on life and everything he wants to achieve, he knows how lucky he is to have a second chance and he’s so appreciative of Jessica, who’s stuck by him through thick and thin.”
BEHIND BARS
Mike was sent to prison in December 2021 after being caught exchanging £70,000 worth of cocaine with accomplice Gary Bear.
When police searched Hassini’s car, he told them he had “around £36,000 pounds in cash, although he had not counted it yet”.
The reality star had also stashed three smaller blocks of cocaine and other drug paraphernalia at Jessica’s parent’s home.
She was arrested on suspicion of drug dealing but released after it became clear she was not involved in the drug operation.
He was handed a six year and nine month sentence after he admitted a string of drug offences.
Mike was released in September 2023, just two years into his sentence, and has maintained a low profile away from the public eye ever since.
Jessica, the daughter of an oil tycoon, stood by Mike’s side throughout his time in prison, and the pair celebrated their reunion by heading on holiday together.
Back in 2018, he was spared jail over a £450K diamond investment scam.
