Peppa Pig's mum gives birth to new baby and shares adorable name
The Peppa Pig universe has welcomed a new character, Mummy Pig's third child, delighting fans around the world including Ireland.
Thereâs a brand new piglet in town - and sheâs already stealing hearts. The Peppa Pig universe has grown a little bigger with the arrival of a baby girl, as Mummy Pig gave birth to her third child early Tuesday morning.
The joyful news was shared on Good Morning Britain, where it was announced that the newborn, named Evie, was delivered at 5.34am. Fans of the beloved animated family have been following the pregnancy journey closely ever since Mummy Pig stunned viewers back in February, making the surprise announcement live on Good Morning Britain that she was expecting again.
Since then, the buzz has only grown louder. The excitement hit new highs last month when a spectacular gender reveal party was held at Londonâs Battersea Power Station, leaving fans squealing with delight when it was revealed a little girl was on the way.
For those wondering where baby Evie made her grand entrance - the Peppa Pig family spared no expense. Mummy Pig welcomed her third child at the Lindo Wing in London - the same location where Kate Middleton gave birth to all three of her children, George, Charlotte, and Louis, Mirror UK reports.
Mummy Pig delivered at the ultra-exclusive maternity ward at St Maryâs Hospital in Paddington, where a single night starts at ÂŁ5,900 (âŹ7,012), with top-tier deluxe packages priced at ÂŁ7,500 (âŹ8,914).

Back at home, big brother George and big sister Peppa are said to be âover the moonâ and counting down the moments until they can cuddle their new sibling. As for the proud parents, Mummy and Daddy Pig shared that theyâre âlooking forward to lots of happy snorts and sleepless nights.â
And fans wonât have to wait long to join the celebration themselves. A brand-new cinema special, Peppa Meets the Baby, lands in over 2,600 cinemas across 19 countries - including Ireland - on May 30. The hour-long musical event will include 10 brand-new episodes, following Peppa and George as they get ready to welcome their baby sister.
Ahead of the big screen release, the gender reveal episode premiered on the Peppa Pig Tales YouTube channel on May 3, giving fans an early look at the moment that had everyone squealing with excitement.
