Mike Hassini has welcomed his first child with his girlfriend Jessica Milford a year after being released from prison after serving two years for supplying cocaine.
The former TOWIE star, 29, announced the happy news on Instagram on Sunday by sharing a series of adorable black and white photos.
They continued: ‘A love beyond belief – our hearts are so full. You have changed our world, girl.
MailOnline revealed that Mike and his girlfriend Jessica were expecting their first child in June.
Sharing Polaroid photos of him holding Jessica’s growing stomach and looking lovingly into her eyes, the couple later announced the news on Instagram.
Their happy news came just nine months after Mike was released from prison having served two years of a seven-year sentence for supplying cocaine.
In September 2023, Jessica, 29, confirmed that she and Mike had spent their birthday together for the first time in two years, after she supported him during his stay indoors.
Mike, who starred in the ITVBe series between 2015 and 2018, was caught with £70,000 worth of Class A drugs in 2021.
A source told MailOnline: ‘Becoming a father is all Mike has ever wanted.
‘Family has always been very important to him and knowing that he is finally having a baby means a lot to him and Jessica.
“Going to prison greatly changed his perspective on life and everything he wants to achieve. He knows how lucky he is to have a second chance and he greatly appreciates Jessica, who is by his side through thick and thin.”

MailOnline revealed in June that Mike was expecting a baby with his girlfriend Jessica Milford.
The former TOWIE star announced his first child is due in October with adorable Polaroid photos of him holding Jessica’s growing stomach and looking lovingly into her eyes.
Writing on Instagram, Jessica captioned the couple’s pregnancy reveal: “After every storm, there’s always a rainbow… You truly are our dream come true.”
“We are so excited for our new chapter as mom and dad… Our happily ever after.”
Several TOWIE stars congratulated Mike on his baby news, including Ella Rae Wise and Georgia Kousoulou.
Mike was arrested in 2021 after police found him with £70,000 worth of cocaine, and the former reality star later admitted conspiring to supply a class A drug, possession of cocaine with intent to supply and possession of criminal property.
Jessica was also arrested on suspicion of drug trafficking, but was released when it became clear she was not involved in the operation.
He received a sentence of six years and nine months in prison, but only served two years and was released last September.
Womanizer Mike claimed to have slept with more than 100 women before appearing on TOWIE.
During his time on the show, he dated Chloe Meadows, Zoe Hamilton and former Love Island star Malin Andersson.
He made his TOWIE debut alongside close friend Kate Ferdinand, but was axed in January 2017 as part of a major cast shake-up.
In September 2023, Jessica confirmed that she and Mike had spent their birthday together for the first time in two years, after she supported him during his stay indoors.
Writing on Instagram, Jessica captioned the couple’s pregnancy reveal: “After every storm, there’s always a rainbow… You truly are our dream come true.”
Jessica shared photos from a recent scan, showing her growing baby, due in October this year.
Mike, pictured with former TOWIE co-star Lewis Bloor in 2015, starred in the ITVBe series for three years.
