The Traitors' favourite, Maia Gouveia, recently took to social media to announce the arrival of her new baby with sweet hospital snaps. The TV star, who famously appeared on series three of the hit competition series alongside her sister Armani Gouveia, is already a mother to her 22-month-old daughter, Ava.

Alongside her partner Alex, that family have become an adorable family of four and shared insight into her labour with fans. In the Instagram post, Maia could be seen cradling her newborn before breastfeeding after she welcomed the baby via C-section. Taking to the caption, she shared her relief and penned: “After 9 long months of waiting to meet you, you’re finally here.

“We were three, and it was everything…but now we’re four, and somehow, our hearts have found room to love even more deeply.

“A new bond, a love we never knew we were missing. Welcome to the family,” she concluded.

Among the fans who rushed to congratulate Maia on her new addition were Traitors winners Jake Brown and Leanne Quigley.

They wrote: “Congratulations beautiful girl; Congratulations Maia!!.”

Their co-star Kasim Ahmed added: “Congratulations to you all, you've earned a good long recovery break! @armvni.g up your auntie game bro!”

Armani also reposted the birth announcement on her Instagram stories, as well as a heartwarming clip of Ava meeting her new sibling and rocking the baby’s cradle.

Although the sisters appear to be close, they shocked viewers when they found themselves on opposite sides as Faithful and Traitor, and Maia threw her sister under the bus in shocking scenes.

The format of the show sees contestants dubbed "Faithfuls" try to figure out the "Traitors" trying to kill them off are.

Armani had been appointed as a Traitor by host Claudia Winkleman at the beginning. However, her downfall came when Maia correctly identified her as a Traitor at the table vote.
