Idols SA Season 4 winner, Jody Williams, gave birth to her first baby on Tuesday morning.
The proud new mom posted the picture of her baby girl, named Dakota Ferreira, on her Instagram account a day later.
However, the news already broke a few hours after she gave birth when her sister, Candice Castle, posted the first picture of baby Dakota.
Candypop7ice posted: “Welcome to the world little superstar. You are already loved by so many people #myneice #LittleDakota #Inlove Congrats to the new parents @supanic7 @itsjodywilliams you guys are going to be awesome parents! (sic).”
Jody, 28, shared a picture of her cute baby on social media. And although the news came as a surprise to fans, minutes after posting the picture, her Instagram account was flooded with congratulations and Jody responded to each message with a “Thank You”.

The new mom told the Daily Voice she “couldn’t really put into words how I feel”, adding: “It all still feels so surreal for me. Becoming a mom is such a blessing.. it’s a love and bond that cannot be described. She’s perfect in every way.”
