On Sunday, Daisy took to Instagram to celebrate Mother’s Day, where she spoke about the challenges of her journey to becoming a mother and paid tribute to her own Pearl, 53.

Daisy shared a sweet breastfeeding photo as she looked to her mother for support in a photo taken shortly after Ivy’s birth.

She wrote: ‘Happy Mother’s Day. First of all to my epic mother @pearllowe without you, I wouldn’t be here, I wouldn’t be me, I wouldn’t be the mother I am without you.

On Sunday, Daisy took to Instagram to celebrate Mother’s Day, where she spoke about the challenges of her journey to becoming a mother and paid tribute to her own mother, Pearl.

‘You inspire me endlessly with your kindness, your love, your wisdom, positivity & creativity. I am always so grateful for you, but especially for how you have held my hand this past year during new motherhood. Thank you mom.

‘It felt like an eternity to become a mother myself, there were so many years on Mother’s Day that I felt quietly heartbroken… I can’t believe Ivy is actually here! God, I am so grateful to be celebrating my first as a mother.

“My heart goes out to all the mothers, women waiting for their chance to become mothers, to all the incredible women who care for others and to all the wonderful people who miss their own mothers every day.

“Sending you the biggest hug and all my love.”

Daisy also shared photos of Pearl cuddling Ivy, nine months, and other photos with the family as they celebrated with a roast dinner.

The model announced her pregnancy on Instagram in October 2022, posting a sweet photo of her bump, admitting she was “wildly swinging between excitement and nervousness.”

It came just weeks after she and Jordan confirmed their engagement, with the property developer popping the question after two years of dating.

Daisy has opened up about life after giving birth since welcoming baby Ivy, saying she is ‘very proud of what my body has achieved’.

Three months after giving birth, she posed in a bikini and wrote on her Instagram page: ‘3 months of motherhood and this is where I am. I’m still breastfeeding. I am still me…

‘I have to remember that three months is not that long for my body to recover. I feel so overwhelmed with love, magic and exhaustion…

“I’m sitting here while Ivy takes her nap. Everyone says you should sleep while the baby sleeps. I’ve never been very good at listening to what everyone is saying.

“I try to remember to be gentle with myself, that my body made us our cheeky little angel.

‘This photo was taken at a time when I was very proud of what my body has achieved… and I put on my bikini for the first time.

‘The greatest love and respect for all people who are trying to love their own incredible bodies. We are all made of stardust.”
