DAWN Ward is a grandma again at 50 after daughter Darby gave birth to her second child.
The family announced the happy news on Instagram, sharing adorable photos of the baby girl meeting her family members.
“River Rosa Jackson - 11/06/24. 7pounds, 4 ounces of perfection....," she wrote. "We are totally in love with out little baby girl".
Darby and husband, Michael Jackson, have already got one daughter, two-year-old Skye Lynne.

Proud grandmother Dawn was quick to appear at the hospital to see Darby, sharing a black-and white photo of her holding River in her arms.
Darby later revealed Dawn - who has moved to a plush mansion in Saudi Arabia - was there for the birth, and added it was "so lovely to share such special moments."
The Real Housewives of Cheshire star later shared a pic of Skye cradling baby River on her Instagram account to announce the happy news.
"Well she’s finally here our 3rd Granddaughter River Rosa Jackson 11/06/2024.
"She’s absolutely gorgeous just perfect. It already feels like she’s been with us forever."
"When I had Darby 28 years ago I didn’t think it was possible to love another child as much as I did her," Dawn continued.
"Then came Taylor Charlie And Aston you love them all exactly the same.
"But I must admit I was very worried about having a second Grandchild never mind a third and I have to say it’s the same as before. the love I have for all 3 of them is another level!"
"To say we are over the moon to have another Granddaughter is an understatement," she continued. "A little Sister for Skye and another cousin for Mila I’m so excited.

"Darby you were an absolute star during labour I’m so proud of the amazing mother you are.
"Thank you to you and Michael for allowing me to be there again it’s the most amazing feeling which I’m so grateful for,"
She also wrote under Darby's pictures: "You were amazing, and our little River was just perfect.
"I cannot wait to see her growing up with our beautiful Sky every day Darby you blow me away away with what an unbelievable mother you are.
"She’s such a precious addition to our family."
The collection of photos mark the first days of baby River's life, including a full family pic as they left the hospital last week.
Darby later wrote on Instagram Stories about her birth experience, explaining she was induced and, while River was born healthy, Darcy suffered a post birth bleed.
"I had a post birth bleed which was quite frightening," she said. "But the team at Macclesfield hospital responded so quickly and were honestly incredible through my whole process of birth and recovery."
Celeb pals were quick to flock to the comments to congratulate the mum on her new arrival.
"Massive Congrats to you all. she’s soooo beautiful xxxxxxxx," wrote Charlotte Dawson.
