Skye was delivered last July, and Ella admitted she felt lucky to have been able to have had a water birth at home.
The day after her little girl arrived, she shared a picture of the couple in bed holding their new baby.
She wrote: "Skye Tessa Camilla Davan Mills Born in the pool at home yesterday afternoon.
"The most powerful, surreal, totally extraordinary moment. Beyond grateful to my husband for being a hero, the best support I could have ever imagined, our midwife and doula for making us feel so safe and supported...

"We’re completely in love."
Since welcoming Skye last year, Ella has made the youngster a regular feature on her social media pages.
She vowed to take January off social media as her maternity leave, but couldn't resist posting.
Ella explained: "One of my promises this year was to find a bit more calm, balance and a second for myself between mum life and work.
"I thought I’d take January as maternity, as I was back to work after just a few weeks when Skye was born, but so far I’d say it’s a pretty funny attempt at time off.
"I just love what we do, there are so many exciting plans in motion and I’m finding it impossible to stay away, so my tiny pal is just coming along with me for the ride and so far she seems to be loving it.

"That being said it can feel a little non-stop, so I’m trying to find little practices of calm along the way to stop myself from feeling overwhelmed and as of this week I’ve done a 15 min mediation every day and it’s magic.
"I do it while Skye naps and it’s incredible to see what a difference such a short practice can have..."
Ella and Matt, who married in 2016, run the Deliciously Ella business together.
As well as running her food blog, Ella has released a series of recipe books and snacks which went into supermarkets.

Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay has axed hundreds of jobs at his restaurants after being forced to close down during the coronavirus crisis
Gordon Ramsay has been slammed for laying off more than 500 of his staff after temporarily closing his restaurants as the coronavirus crisis worsens.
The celebrity chef - who boasts an estimated net worth of £185million - called staff to a meeting where they were told their contracts were being axed.
Tearful staff had no idea their jobs were at risk and have now been placed on garden leave for the duration of their notice period.
His workers - including chefs, waiters and other employees - have been told by email they will get paid up until April 17, but say there is no guarantee their job will still be available when Ramsay's restaurants eventually reopen.
Furious staff have railed against the dad of five, with chef Anca Torpuc branding Gordon a "piece of s**t".
"All of us have worked so hard for Gordon Ramsay and he has just got rid of us when we needed his support the most," she told Mail Online.
"Many of the staff were left in tears at the way he has treated us. There was no warning. We were summoned to a meeting and told our contracts were being terminated. It was so brutal.
"Staff from each of the restaurants were summoned to the Heddon Street restaurant where they were given the news. It was so awful and so many were in tears."

Anca, who worked as a chef de partie at the Bread Street kitchen, also blasted Ramsay on social media.
"Such a shame to see how the company that you worked for and gave everything you had for 2 years throw you away like you are nothing but a little piece of s***, specially in difficult times like this even though they have absolutely nothing to lose by keeping you," she fired off.
"And I'm not taking about one person here, over 500 people lost their jobs yesterday so all I can say is thank you @gordongram @gordonramsayrestaurants I hope you sleep well at night knowing that so many people doesn't have a job in this difficult time because of you."
Gordon himself had paid tribute to his staff on Instagram when he announced his decision to temporarily shut down his restaurants on Instagram.

"As the situation changes daily our focus has to be on the health and safety of our employees, guests and community and to do our part in slowing the spread of the virus, from Saturday 21st March 2020, all our London restaurants will temporarily close," his post said on March 19.
"Whilst we don't know when we will re-open, what we do know is by supporting each other through this terribly challenging time, we will come through this stronger than ever!"
He added: "Huge love and thanks to our amazing staff across the restaurants for all their passion and support. I truly hope we are all back together very soon. Gordon."

In an email sent by Gordon Ramsay Restaurants, axed staff were told they were being put on garden leave.
"I am writing to confirm that you have been given notice that your contract of employment will be terminated and you will be paid four weeks notice. You will be placed on garden leave for the duration of your notice," the email, seen by the Mail, reads.
"Your P45, final holiday pay and any other monies owing will be forwarded to you in due course."
The email also pledges to offer staff support through the company's assistance programme.

Ramsay's decision goes against the government's urging of businesses to retain staff with the help of a furlough programme, which allows 80% of a worker's salary to be paid backdated to March 1.
Tory chancellor Rishi Sunak unveiled the unprecedented level of financial measures last week as part of the government's Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme, which aims for businesses large and small to keep staff on the payroll even if they are unable to work.
In a statement, the holdings group said: "Gordon Ramsay Restaurants is continuing to work tirelessly in exceptional, unprecedented, global circumstances to ensure that as many employees as possible are being retained by the business.
"We are no different from any other restaurant/retail business large and small in the UK and around the world responding to the current crisis.
"We welcome greatly and fully support all the initiatives introduced by Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak in particular the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme which is still being refined.
"We continue to work closely with our landlords, government agencies and all third party suppliers associated with the business through these very challenging times."

Meanwhile the Prince of Wales, 71, has been self-isolating with his wife Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, 72, at their 53,000-acre Birkhall estate in Scotland.
They have been apart from each other at the residence.
The heir to the throne met hundreds of people during a "high number of engagements" in recent weeks - where he offered namaste gestures instead of handshakes.
But it is "not possible to ascertain" where Prince Charles caught the virus, his spokesman said.

Charles - who has since spoken to the Queen and sons William in Norfolk and Harry in Canada - is the first Royal Family member to be diagnosed with Covid-19.
Given his age, he falls into one of the high risk categories.
Charles' positive test was carried out on Monday by the NHS in Aberdeenshire and he received the result on Tuesday.
He had been at Highgrove, his residence in Gloucestershire, before going to Birkhall, on Royal Deeside in Aberdeenshire, on Sunday.

Six staff members are self-isolating as well. People who have recently had contact with Charles have been tested.
It comes as the UK death toll has risen to 465 with 43 more coronavirus patients dying in the last 24 hours.
Earlier, Boris Johnson announced a whopping 405,000 people have signed up to volunteer for the NHS after the Government launched its 'NHS volunteers' scheme.
Also today, the Government’s emergency powers Bill became law after being backed by peers. The new laws will take effect within hours.
It was also revealed the pandemic could last into and beyond summer.

Kevin Maguire: Rishi Sunak's delay of help for 5million self-employed will cost lives
Hero-to-zero Rishi Sunak’s deadly dithering will cost lives.
The Chancellor fatally failed to unveil detailed help for the 5 million self-employed alongside the waged last week and instead delayed it until tomorrow.
Everybody else – trade union leaders, Labour MPs, some Tories and sole traders and freelancers themselves – instantly spotted the lethal hole in his earnings safety net.
Forcing grafters to choose between going to work and staying at home virtually penniless was playing Russian roulette – because in the hiatus, a number will undoubtedly have become unnecessarily infected and in turn passed the disease to others unwittingly.
We are pulling together – but let’s not pretend that we are all in this together when Prince Charles is tested and frontline NHS staff are not.
Or that a Government pulling out all the stops to revive the NHS never starved it for 10 years. It was equally slow buying face masks and ventilators.
Sunak getting there eventually does not undo harm he neglectfully inflicted.
