Fans of the couple couldn't help but point out that their new addition to the family shares the same name as the Marvel Comic Books, which have given us Spider-Man, X-Men, Iron Man, and many more.

The couple started dating in the summer of 2013 and announced their engagement after a romantic mini-break in Rome in November 2014.

Speaking about her first pregnancy back in 2017, Billi admitted she struggled to adjust to her changing shape.

She told new! magazine: "My body changed quite early in my pregnancy – your whole body shape changes and it took me a while to adapt to that, but I've enjoyed the experience of dressing my bump. I'm finally embracing my bumps, lumps and curves!"
