The family has returned home from Ukraine after their new arrival was born just over two weeks ago.
In July, the Dublin-born model announced she was expecting her first child via gestational surrogate and bravely opened up about suffering several miscarriages in the past.
Rosanna Davison MScIt’s been 24 hours since we brought baby Sophia home from Kiev, she’s settled in really well & has been getting to know her grandparents & furry big brothers 🤗🐾 Back when we began the medical & legal side of #oursurrogacyjourney in Feb 2018, we never dreamed that we’d be lucky enough to take our beautiful daughter home for Christmas the very next year ❤️ It’s a long, stressful, expensive process and there are no absolute guarantees. At the beginning of this year, we spent a few weeks in Kiev for the egg retrieval process & stayed beside St. Sophia’s Cathedral. The night before my procedure @victoria_clinic, we walked up to the cathedral in the freezing cold & @wesquirke took this photo... we both loved the name & agreed that if we happened to have a baby girl, we’d name her Sophia as a nod to our long journey to become her parents (it also comes from the Greek word for wisdom! 🙌🏼) So here we are! In a magical baby bubble at the most wonderful time of the year 🎄✨ We’ll be forever grateful to the many people who have supported, guided & helped us over the last couple of years - you know who you are ❤️

The pair jetted to Kiev for the retrieval process earlier this year and staying beside to city's St Sophia’s Cathedral inspired their choice of name, RSVP Live reports.

The former Miss World told how little Sophia has spent most of her time meeting relatives since returning home.
She said: "She has settled in really well and has been getting to know her grandparents and furry big brothers.
"[We are] in a magical baby bubble at the most wonderful time of the year."
She went on to thank her close friends and family who were there for them during their tough but special journey.
