Olympian makes surprise announcement of new baby boy!

Tom Daley and husband Dustin Lance Black have announced the news of their second child's arrival.

The pair shared the news with the Times before taking to Instagram to reveal their son’s unique name, giving fans quite a surprise as they had not publicly revealed what they were expecting.

Daley posted a picture of his now family of four and a sweet picture of him holding the newborn, paired with the caption, “🧡 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 🧡 Robbie is loving being a BIG BRO! 👨‍👨‍👦‍👦”

Friends and fans were quick to celebrate the couple’s new addition to the family in the comment section.

Fellow Olympic diver Matty Lee wrote, “Can’t wait to meet him! Love you all ❤️”

"Oh my god tom 😍💖 congrats angel!!!!” wrote social media star Holly H.

Black also took to Instagram, posting a photo of the four of them, writing "And then there were four. Our second son, Phoenix Rose Black-Daley, arrived at 3:34 pm on March 28, 2023. ❤️"

His comment section was also filled with excited friends and celebs wishing them well.

“Congrats fellas!!!!” NSYNC singer Lance Bass wrote.

“MAZEL TOV!!! ❤️🙌” TV presenter Andy Cohen said.

The couple, who were married in 2017, welcomed their first child, five-year-old Robert Ray via surrogate in 2018.

Young Phoenix isn’t the only newborn with an unusual name in the news at the moment, with proud mum Paris Hilton announcing the birth of her first child, a son with a name you won't forget.
