When Paige and Amir Chohan first locked eyes in a takeaway in Rusholme, Manchester, they could never have imagined the life they'd create together. Fast-forward 14 years and the pair have not only tied the knot in a dreamy ceremony at the Natural History Museum, but they've also become parents to a beautiful baby girl - Nora.
Paige, 32, who recently joined the cast of ITVBe's The Real Housewives Of Cheshire, and Amir welcomed their adorable tot on 30 March - Nora was born at 3am, weighing just over 7lb. And during OK!'s exclusive photoshoot at their gorgeous home, the couple's daughter is without a doubt the calmest and quietest baby we've ever met - there isn't one scream the entire day.
Her arrival, Paige and Amir tell us, was one filled with happiness, love and joy, and the newborn has contently settled into their family abode.
Here, Paige and businessman Amir, 35, tell us all about their little one...
Hi, Paige and Amir. Congratulations! How are you?
Paige: Nora has slotted in perfectly and motherhood has come naturally, too. I was filming Real Housewives Of Cheshire during my third trimester, so I didn't really take it in and think about it all. When I did end up going into labour, things felt very real [laughs]. But I'm loving every minute.
Amir: I agree, these last couple of weeks have been a total dream.
Being a mum definitely suits you, Paige!
Paige: To be honest, I can't believe I didn't have a baby sooner. The love I feel just now is like nothing else. I never knew that I actually had such a maternal instinct until Nora got here. It's brought out a new side of me and I'm embracing it.
Amir, have you slotted into fatherhood just as easily?
