Dannii Minogue has become a mum for the first time.

The 'X Factor' judge gave birth to a baby son, Ethan Edward Smith, at a hospital in Melbourne yesterday.




In a statement, her representative said: ”Kris Smith and Dannii Minogue are thrilled to announce the arrival of Ethan Edward Smith on 5th July 2010.

”Mother and baby are doing well and Dad is very proud. They request their privacy at this special time to adjust as new parents.”

Dannii had taken time off from this year's 'X Factor' auditions so that she could return to Australia ahead of the birth.

It's been reported that the six finalists in her category will be flown out to Melbourne in order to delay her return to the UK for the final stages of the programme.

Dannii's sister Kylie is believed to be planning to fly out to see the new arrival later this month.
