Big announcement: Bunton announced the birth of her 'beautiful' son Tate on her Twitter pageAfter originally announcing her pregnancy in November, the Dancing On Ice judge revealed in February she was expecting another boy with long-term partner Jade Jones.
And in January, the ex-Damage singer and long-term love Jones, 32, revealed they
were engaged after 11 years together.
After Dancing On Ice came to an end in March, Bunton has been taking it easy the past few weeks.
Harriet Scott, who recently announced she is pregnant with her second child, is covering Bunton's Saturday afternoon radio show on Heart FM while the singer is on maternity leave.The last few weeks the star admitted on Twitter she had been struggling to sleep - presumably because baby Tate was very active.
Two of Bunton's former Spice Girls bandmates are currently pregnant - Victoria Beckham is due to give birth to a baby girl in July, while Melanie Brown is expecting around the same time.
Bunton has previously spoken of her fears she would never conceive after being diagnosed with endometriosis when she was 25.
She said while pregnant with Beau: 'I remember the doctor saying at the time, "Fifty per cent of women with endometriosis go on to have children." I thought, "Only 50 per cent..." It scared the life out of me. I was frightened.
'I've been so worried for such a long time that I might not be able to be a mum.'
