Jessica Mauboy welcomes first child, daughter Mia

Australian singer Jessica Mauboy has announced the birth of her first child, a daughter named Mia, born on January 13, 2025. In a recent interview, she described her journey into motherhood as a 'rollercoaster' filled with magical moments, while expressing her desire to keep the news private initially to allow family and friends to meet Mia first. Mauboy reflected on her experiences, admitting to self-doubt about her parenting abilities and emphasizing the importance of giving herself patience and kindness during this transition. She has also been inspired to create new lullabies for her daughter and is preparing to channel her experiences into new music. Mauboy and her husband, Themeli Magriplis, married in July 2022 and have long envisioned starting a family together. The couple's decision to maintain privacy around Mia's arrival was partly to shield themselves from social media scrutiny and allow for cherished family moments.
