It's a girl for Kathleen

Popular Hi-5 performer Kathleen de Leon and her musician husband Daniel Jones have a baby girl.

Mikayla de Leon Jones was born weighing five pounds, nine ounces. She is the couple's first child.

"Mum and baby are happy and healthy," said a spokeswoman for the couple.

"Dad is over the moon."
 
The 28-year-old took maternity leave from Hi-5 in April to prepare for the birth.

Earlier this year, de Leon and Jones, formally of the Australian pop band Savage Garden, moved from Brisbane to Sydney to be closer to de Leon's family.

In June the children's performer said she was intent on rejoining Tim Harding, Charli Robinson, Nathan Foley and Kellie Hoggart in Hi-5 in the future.

De Leon met Jones at the 2000 Logie awards and the pair wed in a beachside ceremony on the Gold Coast in October 2005.
