Piers Morgan welcomes daughter

Piers Morgan and his wife Celia Walden have welcomed a baby girl into the world. The couple — who tied the knot in June last year -0 are thought to have named their new daughter Elise although no further details of the birth are yet known, according to MailOnline.

While this is a first child for Celia, the 46-year-old chat show host has three sons from his 20-year marriage to Marion Shalloe, whom he divorced in 2008.

The pair first met on a magazine photo shoot and while Piers initially claimed the journalist was “way out” of his league, he later proposed to the 34-year-old beauty on a romantic trip to Paris by presenting her with a book by her most-loved writer John Updike, entitled Marry Me.

Piers and Celia then tied the knot in a quiet ceremony in Oxfordshire, where he neglected to even invite fellow Britain’s Got Talent judge Simon Cowell to the nuptials.

He said, “I couldn’t trust him to turn up on time.”

Simon later retorted, “I hate to admit it but I’m absolutely thrilled for the two of them. Having met Celia, I have no idea how he managed to pull this one off.”
