Australian Idol winner Kate DeAraugo has welcomed her second child with husband Shannon Riseley.

The happy couple, who already have two-year-old son Hudson, shared the news to Instagram earlier this month, announcing the singer gave birth to a baby boy in February.

The 39-year-old shared a touching post-birth photo in which she can be seen holding her newborn, who the couple have called Noah, while a beaming Shannon poses alongside.

She also posted a photo of her two-year-old boy Hudson holding his new baby brother, whose face Kate covered with a love heart emoji to protect the family’s privacy.

‘I look forward to introducing you all to our little legend very soon!’ she said in the post.

In her share, Kate gave a ‘shout out’ to the ‘incredible’ midwives who assisted in her delivery which was by caesarean.

‘They made one of the most vulnerable times in my life truly beautiful. They’re there with you through it all, all up in your stuff and seeing every part of you, and then, just like that, they’re gone from your life,’ she said.

Meanwhile, Kate shared intimate details about her birthing experience in the latest edition of Woman’s Day.

‘I was expecting the worse, but I feel like I recovered from a caesarean way quicker than I thought I would,’ she said.

‘It was really cool. I got to help pass him up onto my chest. But still, if I was to choose to have a third—which I have no intention of doing—I would probably choose a natural birth.

‘It was painful and hard and all the things a natural birth is, but there’s just something about delivering a baby that way, maybe because it was my first, that was really embedded in my memory in the most beautiful way.

Kate told the publication she opted for a caesarean on the advice of her doctor after suffering a small injury giving birth to Hudson.

it comes after the former realiy star opened up about using Ozempic for weight loss following her impressive 12kg slim down.

The singer, who won Australian Idol in 2005, has been documenting her journey on TikTok and says her experience was ‘nothing but fantastic’.

in November she detailed the downsides of the medication as she revealed the best and worst things about taking the weight loss wonder drug.

‘The best part about being on Ozempic, for me, wasn’t necessarily the obvious one of weight loss. Of course, that was great. I did manage to lose about 12kg in the space of roughly four months, but that wasn’t the best part for me,’ she said.

‘Hands down, the best part of being on Ozempic for me was the freedom from food noise.

‘I have struggled and battled and wrestled and suffered with food noise my whole life. It’s constant. It’s from the minute I wake up in the morning to the minute I go to bed at night. I’m thinking and obsessing about how I’m not going to eat, how I am going to eat, what I’m going to eat, what all of that bulls**t that goes on every day for me, and the medication just took it away.’

Kate previously revealed she battled a binge eating disorder in high school after she struggling to feel comfortable in her own skin.

Opening up about the disorder on her new podcast Why Do I Feel This Way?, she confessed she would hide and lie to people about the food she was eating.

‘Binge eating for me started really young. From maybe even the age of five, I was hiding and lying about my eating and my food,’ Kate said.

‘That was my first way of regulating those emotions and those out of control feelings of not being comfortable in my skin.’

She found herself at rock bottom in 2017 after pleading guilty to possessing ice, drug driving and weapons offences.

Avoiding conviction, the star was placed on a community corrections order and has since made every effort to rehabilitate herself and transform her life.
