YouTubers Rose Ellen Dix and Rosie Spaughton, who go by Roxetera, have welcomed their first child together - after a heartbreaking miscarriage.

The couple announced the happy news on Instagram on Friday, with Rosie writing: ‘We made it! That was one hell of a ride but oh my god was it worth it!!!

‘I’m so lucky I had such incredible, empowering women surrounding me. @roseellendix I can’t even put into words how amazing you are. @chuikingli thank you for capturing the moment AND being the best doula.’

The pair shared an intimate picture of Rosie breastfeeding the newborn as Rose proudly looked on.

Rosie Spaughton, 31, is from Malvern, and also attended the University of Worcester.

She said: "What a wild ride! We want to thank all the midwives at the Cheltenham Aveta Birth Centre for helping us welcome our beautiful baby boy! We have quite the story to tell and are absolutely in love with our son!”

Rose and Rosie began the process of having a baby in January 2020, with Rose being inseminated prior to the first lockdown.

However, she suffered a heartbreaking miscarriage, and was hospitalised in April last year.

Rose’s wife, Rosie, wrote on Twitter at the time: "Hi guys. Please can you send some prayers and well wishes to Rose. She had to be taken to hospital, not because of Covid.

"She is having a difficult miscarriage and I can’t be with her, which makes things a lot harder. I’d just like to say a huge thank you to the NHS who have been absolutely AMAZING during all of this.’

The married couple's main channel has amassed over 1.6million subscribers on the video-sharing platform.

Renowned for their relatable and honest conversations around LGBTQ+ issues, they are regarded as the most successful same-sex couple on YouTube in the UK.

The couple enjoyed a successful 2020, growing across all of their channels, providing a safe space for LGBTQ+ conversations and comedy.

They also launched a Spotify Original podcast, called Parental Guidance which followed their most exciting journey to date – parenthood.
