Neighbours star Scarlet Vas and her husband Tayo Ricci have welcomed their first baby.

She shared a sweet snap of herself cuddling her newborn as she sat up in the hospital bed. Tayo, who has known Scarlet since they were teenagers, leaned down to wrap his arm around his wife. Scarlet captioned the post: “Our Christmas miracle has finally arrived. Merry Christmas from our family to yours.”

Fans and friends rushed to the comment section to congratulate the happy couple on their growing family, with one of Tayo’s friends writing: “Love yous. you’re going to be the best parents! The single most powerful thing a man can be is a father,” along with a few red heart emojis.

Scarlet and Tayo first met when they were teenagers in Melbourne but they soon became ‘family’ when their parents started dating. It wasn’t long before Scarlet and Tayo soon fell in love and got married on a gorgeous Greek island last year. Back in September, the couple shared a throwback video from their holiday as they announced the pregnancy.

“Baby Ricci. Our Christmas Miracle,” they said. In the video, they added a ‘one year later’ over the video of them in Greece as the video cut to them at home checking the pregnancy test, which said ‘positive’. Scarlet immediately gasped and covered her mouth as Tayo looked at the camera in shock.

They also shared clips from their many hospital visits. Scarlet was best known for her role as Mishti Sharma on Neighbours but she soon left her acting career behind for a life in the USA with her husband. The star also created an OnlyFans account where she creates content with Tayo.

On the Uncensored Podcast, Scarlet said she made her money by sharing snaps with Tayo on the adult online subscription service. She said: “I’m in the 0.01%, like the lowest you can go on OF. But every month’s been getting better. ‘Like last month was my best month. I hit almost $200k and then this month I’m going to do well over $200k. I mean the fans love us as like a thing or not a thing. He’s my stepbrother and Australian and we’ve known each other for a very long time.”
