A FORMER Neighbours star has given birth to her first child with husband Tayo Ricci.
Scarlet Vas, who played policewoman Mishti Sharma in the soap, took to Instagram to share the happy news with fans.
“Our Christmas miracle has finally arrived. Merry Christmas from our family to yours.” the star penned.
Scarlet and singer Tayo married in 2018 but have known each other for years.
The couple have known each other since they were teenagers when they were growing up in Melbourne.
Scarlet explained previously that their families knew each other before they met and that they introduced them to each other.
Then their parents started dating and the couple joked about being a family.
Scarlet has since attracted attention over occasionally referring to Tayo as her ‘stepbrother’.
In September the couple first posted a video of themselves finding out about their pregnancy and attending ultrasound appointments.
Tayo said on the post: “Baby Ricci. Our Christmas Miracle.”
Scarlet added: “Can’t wait to meet you.”
The video also showed Tayo lovingly kissing her baby bump.
The pair are social media influencers and collectively have a huge following of over 35 million followers on their accounts.
Their baby news came as a shock to some online and on their recent post which showed a pregnancy update.
One fan commented: “Are yous actually siblings.”
Another added: “Having a kid with your brother is wild.”
While a third remarked: “You guys are step siblings thats crazy and she’s pregnant and his the father bro you step siblings I know step but still”
Vas told Sky news that they don’t let the comments get to them: “Honestly, it doesn’t affect us because we have each other.”
She added that she doesn’t usually read the comment section but when she does, she has a laugh, finding the trolls very entertaining.
She stressed she and Tayo were definitely not blood-related but she preferred to keep the exact details of their family connection private.
Scarlet also has an Only Fans account which sometimes features Tayo and has previously declared that she earns up to $200,000 a month for her content.
