MANHATTAN —Ivanka Trump has given birth to a new baby girl, the model-turned-jewelry designer tweeted to her more than 1 million followers on Sunday.

"This morning @jaredkushner and I welcomed a beautiful and healthy little baby girl into the world," she wrote late Sunday evening. "We feel incredibly grateful & blessed. Thank you all for your support and well wishes!"

Trump later announced the baby girl's name Monday morning, tweeting, "Jared and I are having so much fun playing with our daughter! Arabella Rose is beyond adorable. She's truly a blessing."

Trump had also used Twitter to announce that she was pregnant in January.

Trump and her husband Jared Kushner, a real estate scion who owns the New York Observer, wed in 2009, and the two moved to a penthouse in Trump Park Avenue at East 59th Street shortly after her January announcement.

Trump had told People Magazine last week that she was “trying not to think about” the labor.

"I have enough anxiety about the type of mother I'm going to be and the nuances of being a parent," she said.  "I haven’t focused too much on the actual delivery part, which is seriously terrifying."

It's her first baby and third grandchild for her father Donald.
