On Thursday, the former Olympic figure skater, 32, announced that she and her fiance Alex Clark welcomed their first child together and revealed his name.

A woman who didn’t let herself be rushed and did things her own way entering this world – fierce 💁🏼♀️ You’ve already mastered the face of serving (you’re your mother’s daughter) and you’ve charmed us all. Welcome to the world Rosie girl, we love you so much 🥰.”
In the first photo, the Winter Olympic bronze medalist could be seen cradling her baby girl in a selfie taken from her hospital bed.
