The singer and husb

After years of fertility struggles, Atomic Kitten star Liz McClarnon has finally shared the first snaps of her newborn baby with husband Peter Cho.

Liz first shared her pregnancy news back in May 2025, posting an emotional video from her garden. In the clip, she revealed the incredible journey she and Peter had been on, following years of IVF and heartbreaking setbacks.

“I started to record a video of me just telling you, but I got too emotional, so I thought I’d just hide behind this little announcement instead,” she wrote. “I just can’t believe we’re here. So many have been through exactly what I went through and worse. I want to share what I can and add my voice and ears to those who already help others understand or deal with all that comes with IVF and loss after so much hope.”

Now, after revealing that he’d been born earlier this month, Liz has shared the first pictures of the tot.

Liz McClarnon welcomes first baby

Writing on an Instagram Stories post on November 2, Liz shared a picture of herself giving the thumbs up, letting her followers know that the baby had arrived. She shared: “Little man arrived early. It started out a bit scary but all went well in the end.”

Earlier today (November 13), she finally uploaded a series of pictures of the little boy.

She captioned the post: “Today was our little bun’s actual due date. (No, bun isn’t his name).

“I can’t believe he came so early, over 10 days ago. He gave me quite a shock at 4am when my waters broke. It all got a bit scary when his heart rate dropped but the amazing NHS Staff at our chosen hospital whipped into action. It was overwhelming but they blew us away with their professionalism and care. We are so grateful!”

Liz then added: “P.S. I had to put the customary partner-with-baby-carrier-walking-out-of-hospital picture at the end – We’ve waited a long time for this.”

She was inundated with comments from friends and fans.

One said: “Congratulations Liz! Enjoy every minute of your gorgeous baby bubble.” Another added: “So gorgeous.” Actress Catherine Tyldesley posted: “Huge congratulations beautiful. You’re going to be the best mummy. Sending so much love gorg.” Singer Suzanne Shaw added: “Congratulations my darling. Love you lots and can’t wait to meet the little man.”

Fertility struggle

Liz, 44, had always been open about her fertility struggles.

In 2009, after an emergency surgery, the singer discovered that her fallopian tubes were stuck together. This discovery left her unsure if she’d ever be able to have children.

“Having thought even briefly that I might never be able to have my own children made me realise what agony that would be,” Liz said at the time.

Her pregnancy announcement showed her standing up from a bench and turning sideways to reveal her baby bump.

“I’m pregnant! We feel like we’ve been given the world!” the text on screen read.

Liz’s long journey to motherhood

This long-awaited moment is the happy ending Liz had dreamed of for so long, following a string of past relationships and public heartbreaks that spanned her Atomic Kitten years.

From her broken engagement to Blue’s Lee Ryan to high-profile flings with Kian Egan and Calum Best, Liz’s love life has seen its fair share of ups and downs.

But it wasn’t until she met Peter, whom she married in a secret ceremony in 2023, that she found lasting love.

Reflecting on her past relationships, Liz once said: “I think I’ve been quite strong about not having babies with the wrong people. Some people think I haven’t had the chance. But I made a conscious decision not to have children with the people I was with.”

Now, after years of waiting, Liz has the family she always longed for.
