However, Curt Smith – who is the bandmate of Roland in Tears For Fears – confirmed the birth of his daughter in an August interview with Vulture.

It seems the name of the tot was confirmed in the comments section as family and friends issued their well wishes.

A second stated: “Ohhhh, Emily! I just knew this was coming! How thrilling for you both and the entire family! So much love being sent to you, Roland and the baby!”
“The glow and beauty of being a mother… Aww, congratulations to you both,” gushed a third fan.
