The pair did not reveal the gender or name of the baby.

But Phillips gushed over his new born in a heart-warming montage of photos.

The various snaps showed him and Ashleigh holding their tot just moments after the birth.

Phillips had kept the news of the pregnancy secret until now.

And Ashleigh captioned the touching post: “The best gift of all.”

Friends and fans piled in to congratulate the happy couple.

Man City said: “Congratulations, Kalvin and Ash!”

Riyad Mahrez’s wife Taylor Ward declared: “Amazing congratulations guys.”

Phillips is set to leave Man City next month, with Juventus hoping for a loan[/caption]

One person noted: “Awww congratulations beautiful!”

Another added: “The best mummy and daddy.”

The arrival of his new baby may not be the only fresh start for Phillips this Christmas.

The England midfielder is strongly expected to leave City in search of first-team opportunities elsewhere.

But they are not expected to make a permanent approach until the summer, leaving Phillips free to secure a loan move in January.

And Italian giants Juventus are favourites to complete a switch, with German champions Bayern Munich also registering their interest.
