Olympian Tom Daley and his husband, Dustin Lance Black, have shared the first photos of their newborn son Phoenix Rose, just a day after they confirmed their birth.

Taking to Instagram, Tom shared two adorable photos. The first one sees him and Dustin looking lovingly at their eldest son, Robbie, who is looking down at his baby brother asleep in Tom's lap.

The second photo is an adorable close up of the newborn sleeping in Tom's arms whilst wearing a hand-knitted jumper, no doubt created by the Olympic diver.

Captioning the post, the father-of-two wrote: "PHOENIX ROSE BLACK-DALEY. Our family has grown in the last week, we welcomed Phoenix to the world on 28/03/23 and he's just perfect."

Of how his eldest son is feeling, he sweetly remarked: "Robbie is loving being a BIG BRO!"

Dustin shared a similar family photo showing Robbie giving Phoenix a kiss and added: "And then there were four. Our second son, Phoenix Rose Black-Daley, arrived at 3:34pm on March 28, 2023."

Tom, 28, and Lance, 48, shared the unexpected baby news in The Times on 5 April, despite not previously revealing they were expecting another child.

The couple welcomed their first son, Robert Ray (Robbie),  via a surrogate in 2018. Speaking exclusively to HELLO! at The Fashion Awards last year, Tom gushed over his now five-year-old son, describing him as his "little buddy".

"He's so amazing. He's three and a half now, coming up four. It's so special to have a little buddy that you can just take with you to do things and see things through a new set of eyes", said Tom. "I'm loving doing things I would have never been able to do without our son - things that perhaps may look a bit weird doing as an adult - but if I take my little buddy along I can get away with anything!"
