Alongside a number of photos of the now-reunited couple with their baby daughter, Mary revealed they had given her a seasonal name – Summer Elizabeth Canning.

She wrote: ‘Conor and I present to you Summer Elizabeth Canning. Six weeks earlier than planned but she is doing such an amazing job. 

‘I feel like she’s already a daddy’s girl. Chanel can’t wait for a cuddle,’ she added, referring to her older daughter from a previous relationship.

Conor shared a number of photos to his own Instagram page, including of the moment he met his daughter – who was born in Hobart while he was in Sydney – on what appeared to be a FaceTime call. 

He wrote: ‘Welcome to the world Summer Elizabeth Canning. Just like your Mum you know how to make an entrance. 

‘You surprised us six weeks early while your daddy was away working in Sydney! The world is already a better place now that you are in it. We love you’.

Mary announced on October 31 the couple were expecting their first child together.

‘I know I haven’t been active lately, so I’m happy to finally be able to share the news that me and Conor are having a baby next year,’ she captioned a series of family photos on Instagram.

After the announcement, Mary sparingly documented her pregnancy on Instagram, revealing that she had originally planned to have a C-section in April.

She told hit100.9 Hobart’s Jimmy & Nath show that she wanted a name for the new arrival that stared with the letter C, because her partner is called Conor and her older daughter is called Chanel.   

‘We have Chanel, we have Conor, we’ve got to keep the C-train going… So there’s Ciara, like the singer. I like Charm, like, how you have different charms,’ she said.

‘But my favourite number-one contender is Cartier,’ she added at the time – but instead went with Summer, which she hadn’t at the time mentioned considering.

Mary  then hinted she would like Conor to propose with a Cartier ring. 

‘Last year for Christmas, Conor gave me a Chanel gift… So maybe next year he’ll get excited and get me a Cartier ring? Listening, Conor?’ she laughed. 

Mary and Conor have been together since meeting on the third season of Bachelor in Paradise, which was filmed in late 2019 and aired early last year.
