In a statement on social media, Gina welcomed baby Millie to the world.
It read: “Welcome to the world, Millie. Born on March 29th, our hearts are fuller than ever.
“We are beyond blessed to have you in our lives. #welcomeMillie.”
Naturally, Gina’s comments section was flooded with messages of congratulations and well wishes.
Messages from the likes of the Mercedes F1 team and Max Verstappen’s mother were amongst the comments.
Gina, 28, revealed she was pregnant shortly after tying the knot to partner Iain Bethke at a villa in Majorca last year.
There was speculation at the time that her seven-time F1 champion dad attended the wedding, but no proof.
F1 legend Schumacher, 55, has not been seen in public since he suffered a serious head injury after a skiing accident in December 2013 in the French Alps.
Since then, Schumacher’s wife Corinna has been creating a private world around Michael as he continues his recovery.
This includes forming a tight knit group of people allowed to see the icon and those who can’t due to fear of his private life being leaked.
