"Modesta was so happy she couldn't stop laughing and crying. I felt much the same.
"We look forward to introducing Isabella to her brothers and sisters, family and friends."
Mr Caudwell and Ms Vzesniauskaite have another child together: their son William John, who was born in 2021.
The Phones 4u founder has five other children: Rebekah, 42), Libby, 34, Rufus, 25, Scarlett, 20,and Jacobi, 18, while the former Olympian has an 11-year-old son called Leonardo.

Mr Caudwell said: "I consider this a small gesture and my humanitarian duty."
