Camilla Franks, the 41-year-old founder and director of multi-million dollar Australian fashion label Camilla has given birth to her first child.
Franks and her fiance, Welsh artist and musician JP Jones, welcomed a daughter on Sunday afternoon, and chose a suitably ethereal name for the baby of two particularly creative individuals:
Luna Gypsy.
Franks shared the first photo of her holding her daughter on Tuesday morning, writing, “Welcome darling girl, you are so very loved by your mummy and daddy.”
In August last year, Franks shared the happy news of her pregnancy, explaining that the couple had to put their wedding on hold until after their baby was born.
“An unexpected and beautiful blessing, this next chapter of our story will be quite a ride,” she said at the time.
“After a beautiful few weeks holidaying in Europe, I arrived home yesterday to share the news with friends, family and of course, my tribe.”
“We had plans to marry in India this November, but life is full of surprises! We aren’t in a rush to get married and for now, want to focus on enjoying the precious moments of being a little tribe.”
Congratulations to the family.

As a mother myself I am p*ssed to see you add "at 41" onto the end of the headline.
You don't do that for other birth announcements on here... e.g. "at 27" "at 31" etc. Usually you add a cringey "and the first photo is ovary-melting" or simply "with a gorgeous name".
Leave her age within the article, that's fine. Otherwise it's unnecessary and rude.
Well not really, to be a prima gravida at that age is remarkable due to the significant decrease in fertility and increased risks of complications to mother and baby. A healthy baby is always a blessing, but particularly so when age is not on your side.
Congratulations to them, what a lovely photo!
