She wrote in the caption: ‘On Monday, May 27, God blessed us with another Son.

He wrote: ‘Oh Cristy Judah is absolutely beautiful! Many congratulations from us to you and your family. I hope you are both well xxx’
Cristy announced she was pregnant with her fifth child in February.
The quarter-finalist took to Instagram to share a gorgeous photo of her burgeoning baby bump in a figure-hugging black dress.
She captioned the post: ‘Functional update. I feel extremely pregnant right now and very excited thinking about our new addition. The heartburn has really taken effect.”
Joking about how she is preparing for childbirth, she continued: “One is born every minute every night and Emma Willis gives birth to babies over and over again (much to my husband’s chagrin).”
In response to the star’s post, fans were quick to congratulate the baker while writing a slew of supportive comments.

In response to the star’s post, fans were quick to congratulate the baker while writing a slew of supportive comments when she announced her pregnancy in February this year.
One wrote: “Just radiant @cristysharp_ ,” while another added: “Beautiful mom.”
Another added: ‘She looks so beautiful Cristy’ and another wrote: ‘Yay. We will continue to pray for a healthy and blessed pregnancy/arrival when it arrives!’
Fellow baking star Rowan Claughton sent a series of red love heart emojis.
Cristy keeps her family life fairly private and rarely features her children or husband on her social media.
Radiating in the mirror selfie, the photo showed a sweet image of Cristy and her husband on their wedding day as the former personal assistant smiled in a white veil.
Cristy came fourth in the 2023 series of the hit Channel 4 series when judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith sent the star home after the quarter-final party week.
For their Showstopper they had to create an “everything but beige buffet” taking a whopping four and a half hours to create both salty and sweet snacks.
Paul said Cristy’s buffet was “not the most appealing” but it complemented the flavours, while Matty’s sports-inspired menu impressed.
Paul and Prue were torn between sending Dan and Cristy home from the store and finally decided to say goodbye to Cristy.
She said: ‘It’s been a tremendous, fast-paced experience. Now I’m going to sit back and reflect on how far I’ve come. “I’m very proud of myself for making it this far.”
Fans were devastated to see her leave and took to Twitter to express their frustrations.
One shared: ‘Yes Matty!! But surely Dan should have been sent home?!’
Another agreed: “Well done Matty, it was the wrong person though.”
Cristy was robbed. Good luck lucky boy Dan,” a third wrote, while someone else added: “I’m not sure it was the right decision to come home.”

Fans were devastated to see her leave as they took to Twitter to vent their frustrations during the Bake Off quarter-finals last year.
One viewer asked: ‘How did Dan stay with Cristy??? She had 2 bad days and 5/6 of her ‘non-beige’ buffet was brown!!!”
Before her appearance on the show, the busy mother combined her maternal responsibilities with her job as a personal assistant.
She specializes in baking cakes and incorporates her Israeli heritage into her methods, citing her husband’s Jamaican roots as another source of flavor inspiration.
The personal assistant, a perfectionist, gets excited meticulously decorating her cakes. Cristy describes her baking style as charming and pretty: cakes that evoke a sense of childhood.
