Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver and his wife Jools have welcomed their fifth child, a baby boy, into the world.
The 41-year-old TV star shared a sweet snap of his newest child with the world via social media on Monday and thanked his fans for their well wishes.
The bundle of joy who hasn’t yet been given a name, is a new brother for the couple’s kids Poppy Honey (14), Daisy Boo (13), Petal Blossom (7) and Buddy Bear (5).
Oliver accompanied the adorable picture of him cradling the newborn with the caption, "Morning Son ..... I can't imagine I'll ever take a better selfie, he's so sweet. Big love guys Jox X X X X X thanks for all your good wishes I really appreciate them X x"
Oliver broke the happy news on Sunday, taking to social media to post a snap of his newborn son wrapped up in a white blanket with pink and yellow birds printed on it.
"And then this just happened guys !! IT'S A BABY BOY !! 😀 Everyone in the Oliver family is very surprised and beyond happy. He arrived safely, mum /@joolsoliver was really really amazing, unbelievably composed, natural birth and my two eldest Girls got to come in at the very end as the baby was born which was amazing to witness very very emotional.
"8 lbs ( that's 16 packs of butter for you bakers out there) anyway were all hitting the hay it's been a long day big love... bless a little baby boy Woop Woop !!!! And love to all you mums out there how amazing you are it blows my mind .... Big love jamie o p.s no baby names yet ......."
Jools also took to Instagram the same day, and wrote: “Little baby boy Oliver has arrived. We are so very happy, blessed, grateful and totally in love all over again and so very proud of our two eldest daughters who cut the cord. Jamie was my hero… no name yet)!
The couple announced back in March that they were expecting for a fifth time.
"I thought we'd have a couple of kids but that's about it. Basically I do what I'm told but she's an amazing family maker and I just go with it," he told the Daily Mirror at the premiere of Eddie The Eagle in Leicester Square. "I love kids. My family keep me honest, I have a weird job, a weird life, but my family keep me quite real," he added.
As for whether he was hoping for a girl or a boy, Jamie said, "You know what, I'm always grateful for what I get, it would be nice to balance it out a bit."
In 2012, Jools, who met Jamie when the pair were teenagers, said she was biding her time before having another child.
"I want a fifth, but I know it would be wrong. I never get any time to spend with Jamie as it is. He has said give it a couple of years, then maybe we can think about it," she told Red magazine.
