Samantha Harris has become a mother for the first time.
The Australian model, 34, took to Instagram on Thursday to announce that she and husband Luke Hunt had welcomed a baby girl, earlier this week.
Samantha shared a single image that showed her precious daughter fast asleep and nestled in a car seat.
She looked cute as a button as she rested, wearing a peach-coloured onesie with floral and lace embellishments.

‘My Beautiful Angel arrived 4/11/25 at 9:58pm,’ Sam wrote. ‘Bella Angélique Hunt. Mum & Dad are so in love with you.’

The joyous post was met with an outpouring of congratulations from friends and followers, including Australian Idol star Casey Donovan.Â
‘Congratulations!!!! My goodness how precious,’ Casey wrote, augmenting the sentiment with three purple love heart emojis.
Another follower offered: ‘Awe look at her. So adorable in the car seat ready to go home. Love it. Congratulations to you both, let the fun times roll.’
A third, summing up the sentiment of many, jumped in with: ‘Awwww Sam & Luke, Bella is gorgeous. Congratulations mummy and daddy. Can’t wait to meet her.’    Â
Sam announced in May that she and Luke were expecting, sharing a picture of her ultrasound.
‘Life Lately,’ she captioned the post, while tagging her husband of eleven years.
The post, which had garnered more than 2,600 likes, did not reveal the gender nor when the baby was due.
Fans and friends flooded the comments section of the post with support for the Aussie supermodel.

‘Congratulations gorgeous,’ Australia’s Next Top Model alum Simone Holtznagel wrote, accompanied with a love heart.
Fitness guru and podcast host Steph Claire Smith simply wrote, ‘Congratulations,’ as did model Jess King.
Model and actress Megan Gale penned, ‘Congratulations Sammy.’
Samantha’s husband also left a comment in response to her caption, writing: ‘And the rest of our lives to come’.
That model made headlines in 2014 when she famously stuck by her beau’s side after he was sentenced to four years in prison.
Luke served two years behind bars for the death of a grandfather following a fatal car crash in 2012.
Sam secretly married Luke in 2014, two months before he began serving his prison sentence for his involvement in the crash that caused the death of 78-year-old grandfather Kenneth Lay.
News that the couple had married wasn’t revealed until April 2016, after her husband had finished serving his prison term.
