Holly Hagan Honors Late Sister with Baby Name

Holly Hagan has paid tribute to her late sister Darci with her newborn baby daughter's name, after welcoming her second child last week.

The  star, who is already a mum to two-year-old son Alpha-Jax, announced the birth of her baby girl last week after undergoing a planned C-section.

On Monday, Holly took to Instagram to share she and husband Jacob Blyth had named their baby girl Madison-Darci, alongside a sweet snap of the newborn nestled in her cot.

Darci tragically died after she accidentally overdosed on crystal MDMA while partying with friends in Manchester in October 2025. 

The star has also shared a video this week showing the scar from her C-section, as she offered insight into her recovery on .

She said: 'Day two of post elective c section. As you can see my milk is about to come in, my boobs have been growing today. They're starting to feel like rocks so I'll wake up tomorrow and they're going to be in.

'I'm actually really proud of the breastfeeding journey so far, it's painful however we've checked the latch, everything seems good.

'We've checked for a tongue tie, everything seems good so I think it's actually that I'm new to this. It hurts for the first five minutes and it eases off a little bit.'

'Apart from feeling a bit sore from the incision side and also being tired and having to deal with a toddler all weekend, everything is good. 

'I did have a little cry last night because I find it really overwhelming on the first night, having this brand new child, not knowing what I'm doing.

'Everything is all a bit anxious and weird so I did have a little cry last night, it's not all sunshine and rainbows.'

After announcing the birth of her baby girl, Holly spoke about her C-section on Instagram Stories.

She wrote in a caption: 'When you get judged for having a C-section but your baby's on the 96th centile and could barely fit out of the sunroof never mind the vag LOL.

'She's here safe and well. I'm so tired but absolutely fine and guys... she latched INSTANTLY.'

Their friends and family were quick to congratulate them in the comments of the post.  

Her pregnancy came during a very difficult time for the reality star, following the tragic death of her 19-year-old half-sister, Darci Rose Gibson.

Darci tragically died after she accidentally overdosed on crystal MDMA while partying with friends in Manchester in October 2025. 

And Holly previously said her unborn baby - whom she told her sister about a month before her death - and Alpha-Jax have helped her cope with the tragedy and navigate her grief.

Holly and Jacob tied the knot in Ibiza in 2022 after five years of dating and went on to become parents the following year, with the arrival of Alpha-Jax in June.

The couple revealed in December that they were expecting a baby girl in an emotional gender reveal video, after Holly admitted she had been getting 'girl vibes' and Alpha-Jax had said he wanted a sister.

She recently told Closer: 'Trimester two has been great, now I'm getting to the uncomfortable stage. I found out I was pregnant in the September, and my sister passed in the October, so everything in that beginning stage was a bit of a blur.'

'Going through such a traumatic experience with my sister has made me realise that I am strong, and this isn't going to break me,' she continued.

'I've chosen to accept what's happened, and I know she wouldn't want to see me ruin my life because of this. I feel like I am trying to make a conscious effort to enjoy life.

'I have children who need me, and I have to keep pushing forward. 

'I think I've just managed to find strength in that.' 

It comes after  shared her eagerness for her baby to be born as she lamented being 38 weeks pregnant during the UK's hottest May day ever recorded last month.

Sharing the shot to her Instagram, she complained she felt like 'my sides are going to burst at the seams' as she approached her due date.

But Holly added that she was still soaking up the last moments she had with just husband Jacob and their son, before three became four.

Heavily pregnant during the sweltering heatwave, she began her post by quipping: 'Officially 'get this f***ing baby out of me' weeks along.' 

'I feel like my sides are going to BURST at the seams!' she continued. '38 weeks in a heat wave with a toddler is not for the weak although enjoying our last times as a family of 3.'
