Hey guys, I wanted to come on here to say hi and thank you! Appreciate you all still being here Little update just for you: Our daughter's name is Rose and she was born in September last year. She's a delight. Travis is the most amazing father and life has been pretty dreamy since the day we met. He's not in the music industry, but he's very supportive of my career and so you can expect to hear more from me in 2023! I hope you are all doing well and once again, THANK YOU so much for the support over the years. Much love. X Hayley Hello Hayley and belated congratulations to you and Travis on the birth of your daughter Rose; she sounds amazing. It is so good to hear that you have someone as special as Travis in your life and I wish the three of you a long and happy life together. The indication that we will hear more from you this year is very exciting news but please don't keep us in suspense for too long Love and best wishes to you all Grant

wonderful news indeed, Drew would have been pleased the baby has been called Rose. Lovely to hear the news from Hayley herself. The raising of a child is one of the most important things we do in our lifetime.

As much as I’d love to see the baby, I don’t think we have any right to see her. I can wholly understand not wanting to put your child on the internet. I get what you're trying to say. It is something I've also suggested as to her hesitancy to share much about her baby on social media. No, she's not obligated to share anything with us if she doesn't want to, but clearly, she doesn't begrudge any of us for our natural curiosity despite her reasons. I am very pleased at this turn of events.

I don't think I've seen you post since I first became a member here, the year I officially became a diehard fan. Congratulations on the birth of your daughter! It's so wonderful to see you so happy with your beautiful new family. And it's such great news to see that there is still hope of an album even after all this time. I am very much looking forward to hearing your new songs. I'm sure you've written lots of beautiful new songs. I also want to say that I really hope to hear a few that you've written and performed in the past that have yet to be released on an album. I have to tell you that those 3 songs were really powerful for me a couple of years ago, especially A Side. You have such an incredible talent in not only your voice, but your songwriting skills, as well. With your voice and your words, you have the power to impact people's lives, by giving them joy, hope and healing. I also want to say how grateful I am to have had the amazing opportunity to see you perform in person and to meet you 8 years ago. You turned an already exciting night for me into an incredible memory that I will always treasure. Hayley, thank you again for taking the time to visit this forum and for sharing your happiness with us. Love, Kimberly aka Libby

And congratulations, it is good to see you have finally found happiness and have a wonderful family life to look forward to. Rose is a good mane; in fact it is my granddaughter's middle name. Like so many here, I have always loved your music, but I wouldn't want to think that we are putting you under any sort of pressure. Take your time, enjoy your daughter while she is young (they grow up so quickly), and if you do get round to making music again, we will treat it as a bonus. Martin

Martin I agree entirely with the above, the first four years are very special years for the grandparents, uncles, aunts and parents and child, once the child goes off to Montessori or creche the outside influences start to show in the child's development and personality. Those first few years do pass so quickly, treasure them.

A new story in from Hayley! The folks at @designcasenz design prints for kids’ apparel…maybe we are looking at a dress print for Rose!

I believe that is a hydrangea flower, in case anyone is interested.

Hayley also posted it to her Facebook.
And, FYI to all instagram users, there is an instagram account called hayleywestenra2 going around following fans and messaging us, pretending to be Hayley. At first glance, it just appears to be a fan page, it even says so, and the account is private. But they'll message you and start acting like they're her. I didn't respond to them and then reported the account. I didn't block them yet, as I wanted to be able to still see the page for reference, but I likely will soon. If this account requests to follow you, it's best to decline. But if your account isn't private, they'll be able to follow you anyway. Just beware if they message you.

From what I can see, I think she looks more like dad than mum. ... And I thought we didn't have a right to see her... oh, well, but I guess if her dad is okay with posting her on his profile pic, then it's okay, after all.

By “we don’t have a right to see her,” we shouldn’t expect to see pictures or videos. It’s a privilege if we do. If an image or video is put out on the internet, then that’s more or less fair game.
