TOKYO - Former AKB48 member Minami Minegishi announced on Sunday the birth of her first child, a baby girl.
On July 14th, Minegishi shared on Instagram, "I recently gave birth to my first child. She is a healthy baby girl, 48cm tall (!), and both mother and child are in excellent health. Since announcing my pregnancy, I have been encouraged by everyone's warm messages. Thank you very much for all the support. Watching my daughter bring her hands close to her face, I recall how she never showed her face in the ultrasound pictures. It feels like a miracle that the baby I carried inside me is now truly here, and I am filled with immense happiness every day. Together with my adorable daughter and my husband, who is completely smitten with her, we aim to build an even warmer family."
Her husband, Tetsuya from Tokai On Air, also shared on X, "Our first child has been born. We have only just met, but I am already filled with unprecedented happiness. I am deeply grateful to my wife, who went through so much for ten months to bring this child into our lives. I will protect our beloved child forever!!!"
Fellow AKB48 member Minami Takahashi sent a congratulatory message, "Congratulations, Mi-chan," while Yuko Oshima, Yuki Kashiwagi, and Haruna Kojima, among others, expressed their joy by liking the post.
Fans also shared their excitement, leaving comments like "Congratulations on your baby girl! She's so tiny and adorable!" and "Please take care of yourself and enjoy motherhood."
