Charlotte Dujardin has welcomed her first child with fiancé Dean Golding, daughter Isabella Rose.
A statement released today (7 March) said: “On behalf of Charlotte Dujardin, we are delighted to say that Isabella Rose has entered the world safely and to the delight and joy of both Charlotte and Dean.
“Isabella was born yesterday, 6 March, at 9.48am and is already surrounded by immense love and excitement from Charlotte, Dean and their families.”

Charlotte and Dean announced the pregnancy in August, shortly after Charlotte claimed team silver as part of the British quartet at the World Dressage Championships in Herning, Denmark.
“I’ve been so lucky that I’ve not suffered morning sickness or any wild cravings,” said Charlotte last year. “It was a bit of a worry before the World Championships as morning sickness would have been tricky. I did think, as I was going to do my test there, that there I was at World Championships with a baby on board.”
She and Dean threw a gender reveal party back in the UK, where they announced the news, before hosting a baby shower later in 2022.
