Labor Senator Penny Wong and her partner Sophie Allouache have announced the arrival of their second child, a baby girl named Hannah.

Allouache gave birth to Hannah on Good Friday, with Wong confirming the new addition to their family via Twitter yesterday.

In a post showing the couple’s three-year-old daughter Alexandra cradling the newborn, Wong wrote: “Sophie and I are delighted to announce the arrival of Hannah, a sister to Alexandra. Everyone is doing well.”

Wong later released a statement reiterating that “Sophie and Hannah are well, and Alexandra is thrilled with the new addition to our family.”

However the South Australian Senator also asked for privacy during this “special time in our lives.”

It has been revealed that the couple’s new baby was conceived via IVF with the same sperm donor who helped them fall pregnant the first time round back in 2011.
