The caption began with the name they chose for their newborn baby boy. “Jude Jackson Allen.”
They shared a photo of them cuddling their newborn bub from the hospital bed, and another of their baby boy sleeping peacefully in a crib.

Fellow MasterChef stars took to the comments to congratulate the couple, with fan favourite Callum Hann writing: “Congratulations, mate!”
“Congratulations Andy and Alex, he is absolutely gorgeous,” added 2025 winner Laura Sharrad alongside a red heart emoji.
“Truly awesome. Congratulations to you both, welcome, gorgeous JJ, and enjoy getting to know each other!!! Big, big love to you. xox,” wrote the 2016 season winner winner Elena Juggan.
The couple announced their pregnancy on November 17, saying they were “cooking up something pretty special”.
The couple got engaged in New Zealand in 2020, after first meeting at a party shortly after Allen won the 2012 season of the show. They married two years later in 2022.
