Olympic diver Tom Daley and his husband Dustin Lance Black have announced the birth of their first child with some super cute photos. This lovely news comes just a few months after the couple revealed the gender of their baby which they were expecting via an American surrogate.

Over the weekend, both Tom and Dustin took to Twitter to share the exciting news. Tom posted a photo of the little baby's feet, revealing the baby's full name tweeting, '• 27/06/18 • Welcome to the world our precious little Robbie Ray Black-Daley ❤️ The amount of love and joy you have brought into our life is immeasurable, our precious little son ❤️👶🏼❤️'.

Dustin also took to Twitter with a different photo, this time of the baby's head as the new parents hold him saying, 'Welcome to the world little Robbie Ray. Thank you for bringing so much love and light with you. And thank you to those who helped make our dream of having a family into this wonderful reality. ❤️#AFamily #HappyBirthday 👨‍👨‍👦'.

Robert is a name that means a lot to Tom as it is his middle name, and the first name of his dad, who sadly passed away back in 2011 from a brain tumour.

Since the announcement of the new addition to their family, fans and celebrities have been tweeting their congratulations including fellow Olympic diver Jack Laugher who tweeted 'Congratulations boys ♥️'.

One fan tweeted, 'CONGRATS ❤❤👨‍👨‍👦🏳️‍🌈 WE ARE SO HAPPY FOR U BOTH! WELCOME LITTLE ROBBIE RAY💙' sic.

Whilst another said, 'Already loved by so many people around the world! All the best in the new adventure 😘'.

Tom and Dustin first announced they were expecting a baby on Valentine's Day this year with a photo of the happy couple and a baby scan. The caption to the photo read, 'HAPPY VALENTINES DAY! ❤️👨‍👨‍👦❤️'. sic'.

The couple, who married in May last year, didn't give any further details at the time, but the following month Tom revealed the gender of their unborn baby. Tom appeared on Ferne Cotton's podcast in March and revealed the couple were expecting a little boy later in the year.

The couple's happy news comes after the pair tied the knot at a stunning ceremony last year. Three months after the event took place, the couple shared an adorable video of their big day with fans.

Despite there being a 20-year age gap between the couple, they announced their engagement in a very traditional way back in 2015. Going against the usual social media post, the pair decided to post a note in the paper to announce the news. Cute!

Congratulations to both Tom and Dustin on the birth of baby Robbie.
