From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Lucy Watson has given birth to her first child with husband and fellow former Made In Chelsea star James Dunmore.

The couple announced her pregnancy in September last year and had a son on Saturday.

On Instagram, she shared a short post showing a black and white image of her and Dunmore and their baby in hospital.

She wrote: “He’s here 2/3/24.”

Ex-Made In Chelsea stars such as Sam Thompson, Francesca Hull and Jamie Laing were quick to congratulate the couple.

I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! winner Thompson shared heart emojis and wrote: “Come on!!!!”

Laing wrote: “Congrats guys.”

Watson previously dated Laing, who is now married to Sophie Habboo, while being on E4’s hit reality series.

Made In Chelsea also documented the relationship between Dunmore and Watson before they left the show in 2016.

The couple moved in together the next year, when Watson revealed on Instagram they had bought their first home as a pair.

She married her long-term partner in 2021.
