Danielle already has Mimi, 12, and nine-year-old Hendrix from a previous relationship and welcomed child number three with Ty Maynard.
Mel had previously admitted that she has missed out on her other children's lives as they were estranged, but they have since patched things up.
They both appeared on This Morning last month to discuss their ten-year feud, as well as Mel's abusive relationship with ex Stephen Belafonte.

Talking about how they became estranged, Mel claimed her marriage was 'emotionally traumatic' and said Stephen would email nasty things to her family and pretend to be her.
Sitting alongside her lookalike sibling, she said: 'I was in a 10-year marriage. Not the nicest marriage. I got very isolated from friends and family.
'I was in a coercive and not nice relationship. One of the things happens is you get cut off from friends and family. It was emotionally traumatic.'
The ladies said they used to be inseparable and remained close even when Mel first tied the knot with Stephen in 2007.

Announcement: Mel B's sister Danielle previously spoke about her struggle to conceive this child (pictured in 2008)
Danielle, 31, said: 'A lot of the close friends and people who worked for you got pushed to the side. It was done gradually. We were the last ones to go. Me, my mum and dad.'
Danielle previously spoke to new! magazine about her struggle to conceive this time around.
She said: 'We've wanted this for a while but it took longer than we expected - six months of really trying - and we became impatient so we got a puppy.'
Although they were hoping to have a child, Danielle admitted she was still shocked when she learned she was pregnant.
She said: 'Even though we were trying, I was still shocked. One morning I started to feel quite sick, so I did a test - well, I did about five - and that was it. I was pregnant!'

Danielle admitted she had waited a while before she told any family or friends after having been through two miscarriages.
She said: 'I've had two miscarriages in the past and both happened just before the three-month mark, so that was on my mind. We didn't want to get carried away and be upset.
While Danielle was thrilled to be expecting, her pregnancy caused problems for her plans to join her sister Mel B on the Spice Girls tour.
She laughed: 'My plan was to join them for the whole thing, but then I went and got myself pregnant!'
Danielle most recently appeared on an episode of Celebs Go Dating where she discussed her own romantic history with close friend Kerry Katona who was taking part on the show.

The actress admitted that she used to steal her Spice Girls sister's designer clothes and wore a Christian Dior outfit for a date with none other than Jay Z back in the day, before he was married to Beyoncé.
She said: 'So I raided Melanie's wardrobe as sisters do... I was head to toe in Christian Dior. I couldn't afford Christian Dior!
'I thought: "Great, I've got to keep up, it's Jay Z I'm going on a date with.
'Then, who was on the table next to me on my day... Melanie! Can you believe it? What are the odds on that?!'
However, Mel B didn't break the sister code, as Danielle added: 'To be honest, she didn't sell me out, she didn't say anything. She just came over, looked at me and went: "Nice outfit!"
