Former My Kitchen Rules star welcomes a baby boy

Former My Kitchen Rules star Zana Pali has welcomed her second child, a baby boy, with her husband Gianni Romano.

The 28-year-old lawyer shared the news alongside an adorable photo of her newborn wrapped in a blanket, to Instagram on Wednesday.

‘We are so blessed to announce the birth of our second little prince Romeo Romano,’ she wrote.

‘Born May 26th weighing 3.22kgs. Mama, papa and your brother Leonardo love you so much!’

The couple are also proud parents to one-year-old son Leonardo Romano.

They announced the impending arrival of their second child in an Instagram post in December.

Zana and her husband Gianni also threw a glamorous gender reveal party for their second child late last year.

The couple, who previously worked as lawyers before opening a café, popped a large gold balloon with blue confetti that revealed they were expecting another boy.

They were initially cast on My Kitchen Rules in 2016 as the villainous ‘legal eagles’, but eventually won over viewers later in the season.

Despite the glitz and glamour, Zana struggled during her second pregnancy with what she refers to as ‘mum shaming’ from trolls messaging her about her bump size and parenting choices.

The expecting mother told Daily Mail Australia that she has been ‘abused’ for having a small bump.

‘I’ve received messages on Instagram from other mothers who have said things such as “your baby cannot possibly be healthy with how small your bump is,”‘ Zana said.

She added: ‘Firstly, a bump size does not determine the size of the baby. My baby is currently measuring two days ahead of its size so he is of course perfectly healthy.

‘I’m just showing differently this pregnancy. Not that I need to justify my weight and size.’
