Far from going on a crash diet to rid herself of her extra baby weight, glowing Ulrika Jonsson is in no hurry to lose her new curves

The Swedish blonde happily showed off her bulging tummy as she was pictured out with three-week-old baby Malcolm - her fourth child by a fourth man - for the first time. 

The 40-year-old - dressed casually in sweat pants and a black top - beamed with joy as she strapped her newborn into the car and headed out with husband Brian Monet.

Proud mum: Ulrika grins with joy as she is pictured out with her newborn son Malcolm for the first time

Her newest son, Malcolm Charles Trip Monet, weighed a healthy 10lb when he arrived nine days late at Ulrika's local hospital in High Wycombe, Bucks, on June 7.

Malcolm is her first child with her third husband American art director Brian Monet.

Ulrika told Hello! magazine earlier this month that she had gained five stone in weight during her pregnancy and felt no pressure to slim down.

‘I had sizeable breasts. I am an I cup since my milk came in – but the point is that I am doing the most important job that any woman can do and I am very happy to give my body over to this wonderful process and very relaxed about taking time to get my body back.'

She added: 'Of course it's never nice putting on lots of weight but I feel very strongly about women who feel the need to slim down straight away and almost compete to try and get back to their size 10 within a week. It's not me and I don't think it's very natural.

New arrival: Malcolm is Ulrika's fourth child

'I'm happy to be called fat or weighty by the papers for the foreseeable future. I will get my body back but I will take my time. I am nearly 41 and have just had my fourth child.

'If my body doesn’t bear the hallmarks of that, then what was the point of having the children?

'It might be harder to get back in shape this time but I am not obsessed about it.'

Ulrika and American art director Monet married in a secret ceremony, which later featured exclusively across the pages of a glossy magazine, in March of this year.

As well as her new son, Ulrika has three children from three past relationships.

Cameron, 13, was the product of her five-year marriage to cameraman John Turnbull and seven-year-old Bo's father is German hotel boss Markus Kempen, with whom she subsequently had a short-lived relationship.

She had her second daughter, Martha, four, with second husband Lance Gerrard-Wright, whom she met on her TV show Mr Right.

That marriage ended after two years in October 2005.
