A spokesperson told MailOnline: ‘Ryan and his partner Zara are delighted to announce the birth of their daughter, Cora Giggs who was born on Friday 1 November.
‘They extend their warmest gratitude to all the amazing staff especially the midwives at Wythenshawe hospital’

Ryan has yet to announce the birth on Instagram and MailOnline have contacted Ryan’s representatives for comment.
The couple, who have been dating since 2021, announced in April that they are expecting their first child together and Zara has been seen out and about showcasing her growing bump over the past few months.
Ryan already has two children, daughter, Libby, 21, and son, Zach, 18, from his 10-year marriage to Stacey Cooke.
Zara also has a daughter from a previous marriage.
Insiders claim Ryan’s ex wife Stacey – who divorced him in 2017 – has also given her blessing as well as their children.

‘Ryan was nervous about what his kids would think but they’ve got to know Zara over the last few years and really like her’, a source told The Sun.
‘They’re happy because they know he’s happy.
‘But they’ve joked that he might struggle with the early mornings and lack of sleep.
‘Ryan and Zara are thrilled at the prospect of becoming parents again, they have a very solid, loving relationship and are building a long-term future together.’
Another source told the publication: ‘Stacey approves of Zara.
‘Her and Ryan have been through a lot but they have moved on and she’s only interested in him being happy, because that makes him a good dad to their kids. There is no animosity.’
Stacey and Ryan divorced in 2017 after it was revealed he had been having an eight-year affair with his brother’s wife, Natasha.
Members of his family cut ties with him when the news broke, his dad saying he was ‘ashamed’ of his son while his brother, Rhodri, made headlines appearing on a Paddy Power advert mocking the former Manchester United man.
The marriage survived the affair – as well as Ryan cheating with Big Brother star Imogen Thomas – but they separated in 2016.
According to Leiper Gupta Family Lawyers, the divorce could have cost Ryan £20million, but the pair’s lawyers said they remained ‘firm friends’.
