Former TOWIE star Lucy Mecklenburgh has welcomed a first child – a baby boy – with fiancé Ryan Thomas.
Lucy shared an adorable black and white snap of the little one grabbing her finger and simply captioned it: “Roman Ravello Thomas,” followed by a blue love heart.
Fans flocked to share their well-wishes on the snap.
One follower said: “Ahh congratulations to you all. Love the name.”
While another continued: “Finally aww.”
A third simply added: “Yayy”
It’s the first child for the couple, with Ryan also father to daughter Scarlett, 10, whom he shares with ex Tina O’Brien.

The couple confirmed they were expecting last August when they uploaded a sweet snap to Instagram.
With her hand on her stomach, she held onto a baby grow alongside Ryan.
Underneath the shot, she wrote: “Best birthday present I’ve ever had. love you Ryan Thomas.”
The big news came just two months after the 35-year-old got down on one knee and popped the question to her during a holiday in Italy after two years of dating.
Lucy, who has since left behind her reality tv past, opened up about expanding their family in an interview with OK! Magazine months before their baby announcement.
She revealed the pair had discussed wanting children, but explained Ryan wanted to “wait a few more years”.

Lucy continued: “At the start of our relationship, Ryan told me that he couldn’t see himself having any more children.
“It wasn’t something I pushed at the time because I wasn’t ready to have kids and I assumed that he would change his mind one day.
“It’s something we’ve since had to have an adult conversation about and we’ve agreed we will try for children when the time is right.”
Ryan added: “I definitely want children with Lucy but I don’t think it’ll happen for a few years.”
