Former Geordie Shore star Zahida Allen has officially stepped into a brand-new role—motherhood.
After keeping her pregnancy private for months, the 31-year-old reality personality has now shared the joyful news with fans on Instagram, introducing the world to her baby girl.
Meet Baby Zyra
Zahida posted a series of adorable photos of her newborn on Friday, revealing her daughter’s name and birth details. “ZYRA 06.05.2025 – 7lbs,” she captioned the sweet post.
Alongside the announcement, she wrote a deeply emotional message: “Welcome to the world my baby girl.
You are my everything. You’ve given my life a new sense of purpose, love, and strength.”
She described their first month together as a “newborn baby bubble,” reflecting on the quiet, private time they shared.
“We faced so many challenges, but we overcame them all. Now we’re life partners, my little Z,” she said.
A Surprise Pregnancy, Kept Quiet Until the Final Days
Just weeks ago, Zahida surprised her followers by revealing she was expecting—and was only days away from giving birth.
Posing in a pink-themed maternity shoot, she wrote: “Mini Z coming very soon – May 2025.”
At the time, Zahida admitted she had discovered her pregnancy very late.
“I never thought I’d be one of those people with no symptoms.
My body barely changed, and I was focused on some ongoing health issues with my stomach and kidneys.”
But during medical investigations, she found out she was already carrying a little life inside her.
A Private Journey, Supported by Loved Ones
Zahida explained that she kept her pregnancy private, sharing the news only with family and close friends.
“I chose to wait until I felt ready. I hope everyone can understand that,” she wrote.
She also expressed heartfelt gratitude to those around her who supported her through the journey.
I’ll never forget this time in my life or the people who helped me through it. I’ve felt nothing but love.”
A Deep Connection to Her Late Father
In one of the most touching parts of her message, Zahida opened up about grieving her late father all over again as she prepared to welcome his grandchild.
“It was his dream to become a grandad,” she said.
“Some of his final words were, ‘I’m leaving all my prayers and blessings to you and your baby girl.’
I feel like this is the baby he was speaking about.”
She shared that her pregnancy cravings mirrored the food she fed her father during his final days—something she now sees as a beautiful spiritual connection between her daughter and her dad.
Not a Sad Moment—But a Joyous One
Zahida was clear: despite the bittersweet emotions tied to her father, this chapter is all about joy.
“This isn’t a sad post,” she wrote. “My baby is the biggest blessing of my life.
I’ve loved every moment of this journey, from feeling her kicks to holding my belly at night.”
Even the discomforts—like her daughter’s feet pushing into her ribs—couldn’t dull the magic of pregnancy.
“It’s been fascinating, beautiful, and transformative,” she said.
Looking Ahead to Motherhood With Hope
Zahida wrapped up her post with a message of love, empowerment, and strength—especially for parents going it alone.
“To all parents and soon-to-be parents doing this solo—you are incredible. I have so much respect for you.”
To her baby girl, she wrote directly: “To my little mini me, words can’t express how much joy you’ve brought into my life.
I can’t wait to finally meet you. I love you unconditionally.”
A Flood of Love From Friends and Fans
The response to Zahida’s announcement was instant and warm.
Friends from Geordie Shore and fellow reality stars jumped into the comments to send love.
Marnie Simpson wrote, “Congratulations beauty,” while Georgia Harrison added, “Omg congratulations baby girl xxxx.”
Nathan Henry commented, “Awwww congratulations lovely I’m so excited for you and this journey,” and Charlotte Dawson added, “So excited gorgeous girl congrats.”
From Reality TV Star to Devoted Mum
Zahida first rose to fame on seasons three and four of Geordie Shore OGs and appeared in Ex on the Beach back in 2017.
Now, she’s embarking on the most personal and meaningful journey of all—motherhood.
And as she puts it, her life isn’t ending—it’s just beginning all over again.
