Ali told magazine at the time: "The midwife was like, ‘Ready, 1,2,3…’
"Then the screen dropped and Isabella was lifted up. I just sobbed. It was so overwhelmingly emotional."
She added that staff even let them choose the soundtrack to the baby's arrival, saying: "Isabella was born to Don’t Stop Believing by Journey. We had that song at our wedding. It’s very jazz hands."
