CHILDREN’S TV favourite Ms. Rachel has become a mum for the second time, after welcoming a daughter via surrogate.
The 42-year-old, real name Rachel Accurso, made the surprise announcement on her Facebook page.
Sharing a snap of herself cradling her newborn, she wrote alongside the snap: “We welcomed sweet baby Susannah into the world! We are so in love!”
Hinting at a health struggle, Rachel continued: “Sometimes timing isn’t what you plan and the road to get there is bumpier than you expect.
“But when you hold your little ones you know… I’m meant to be your mama.”
She then further explained: “I was unable to carry this pregnancy for medical reasons and we were blessed to have a surrogate who gave us the most precious gift possible.”
Rachel went on to insist that she has “immense gratitude and a deep bond” with her surrogate, calling it a “truly beautiful experience”.
“We are now all family forever,” she added.
“I’m in awe of her.”
She concluded her post by thanking husband Aron for being “the best husband and dad”.
Rachel was inundated with messages of congratulations from her fans, with one writing: “She doesn’t know it yet but she won the jackpot!”
“So happy for you! Congratulations on the arrival of baby Susannah!” another gushed.
