Effie Katsaounis has given birth to her first child, a baby girl named Roza.
The Australian fashion designer, 35, announced the joyous news via Instagram on Sunday, sharing heartfelt details about her birthing experience.
In the lengthy post, Effie admitted the process wasn’t what she and her husband James Cerolini had imagined; however, they were still elated.
‘Roza (Ρόζα) Cerolini ❤️ 20.01.26,’ she began.
‘The proudest moment of my life was bringing you into the world. Even though it didn’t happen the way we imagined, you are everything we could have hoped for and so much more.’
The fashion mogul went on to explain the meaning behind her daughter’s very unique name, which is ‘after one of the most prolific Greek songs of all time.’

‘Earlier this year, James and I were in our villa in Bali when he played this song,’ she added.
‘I recognised it immediately and its lyrics about strength and resilience; a tribute to someone who stands out, someone real, strong, and unforgettable.. but I never knew the name of it.
‘I called out to James and said what is the name of this song and he answered, “Roza”.
‘I knew in that moment this was your name and it was always your song.’
Many of Effie’s celebrity friends flooded the comments with congratulatory messages.
‘I can’t!!! She is the most perfect little angel! Welcome to our new bestie,’ former AFL WAG Nadia Bartel wrote.
‘She’s a mama!’ Bec Judd added. ‘Congrats @effiekats @jamescerolini Beautiful news x.’

It comes months after Effie suffered a medical emergency during her pregnancy.
Sharing a photo on Instagram from the hospital in October last year, Effie said she had decided to ‘rest and reset’ after a ‘reminder to slow down’.
‘The past few days of my pregnancy have been a reminder to slow down and prioritise health, mine and the baby’s,’ she wrote.
Effie reassured her fans she was taking a break but said ‘everything is ok’.
‘I’ve taken a little step back to rest and reset and thankfully, everything is okay.
‘Pregnancy looks different for everyone, and it’s not always straightforward. Consider this your reminder to listen to your body and put your wellbeing first, everything else can wait,’ she added.
In August last year, Effie announced she was expecting her first child with her husband James.

‘Have kept this little one a secret for a while now. Feeling beyond excited for our next chapter,’ Effie wrote.
