Capital DJ gives birth and reveals baby's sweet name as she's flooded with messages
Capital FM star Aimee Vivian has announced the arrival of her first child after she skipped the Summertime Ball at Wembley Stadium on Sunday, as she went into labour
Capital FM 's Aimee Vivian has announced the arrival of her firstborn, having missed the Summertime Ball. After her noticeable absence from Wembley Stadium's festivities on Sunday, she took to social media to share her joyous news.
Mariah Carey, Benson Boone, KSI, Lola Young, Busted vs McFly, Zara Larsson, Dasha, Reneé Rapp and Jessie J were among the stellar performers at the event. Film icon Will Smith surprised fans with an appearance alongside DJ Jazzy Jeff, Tate McRae, Myles Smith and JADE, entertaining a colossal crowd of 80,000.
Whilst Aimee's fellow Capital FM presenters Jordan North, Sian Welby, and Chris Stark were spotted enjoying the bash, Aimee was notably absent. The much-loved DJ chose this moment to explain why she wasn't there, delighting followers with news that she's now a mum as reported by the Mirror.
Aimee expressed: "Wishing my @capitalofficial and all of you an amazing Summertime ball day. Sad to miss it but as you might of guessed by my silence on here, our new little addition has arrived so we have very much been in our newborn love bubble. Swapping backstage at Wembley for watching on YouTube with milk in one hand and a nappy in the other this year. Update on baby soon x."
The Capital DJ later shared a touching snippet, revealing the name of her daughter with the first snapshot. She enthused: "Charli Carter. The girl who stole my heart forever."
Aimee's celebrity mates were quick to offer their congratulations as Sonny Jay remarked: "Ahh mate not the same without you! All the love to you all today."
Love Island alum Kem Cetinay chimed in: "Will be missed! Congrats." Capital's official profile also chimed in, saying: "miss you momma."
The radio presenter disclosed her pregnancy in February with an endearing black and white clip. She displayed a cake which declared "coming soon" alongside an ultrasound snapshot and a pair of charming tiny boots.
Aimee divulged: "Been cooking up something special." The couple has now welcomed their bundle of joy into the world, with Aimee's husband preferring to avoid the limelight.
The DJ has been with Capital FM for a decade and is currently working with Sonny. She went on maternity leave three weeks prior, humorously noting: "BRB off to go birth another listener."
She went on to express gratitude: "Thank you all for being a part of the last nine months, what a laugh we have had. To the incredible team at @capitalofficial and my @gemnashh and @lukejprior you absolutely rock! Finally thank you to my parents who came in to support the last two days. Another life chapter done, Be back on air soon x."
At the event on Sunday, as celebrities took to the red carpet and anticipation built, attendees voiced worries about whether it would proceed. A notice from the organisers was shared on the big screens inside the venue.
An announcement at the stadium read: "We have had to pause the show temporarily. Please remain in the stadium. We hope to restart shortly. Thank you."
Although not officially confirmed, it's understood by fans in attendance that a short-lived power failure was to blame. Luckily, the technical hitch was quickly resolved, allowing the event to proceed without major disruption.
