"So excited to have started a family of my own. Having vowed I've never be that guy I am now 100% going to be the parent that shows everyone endless pictures of their kid. I also wore sketchers to hospital, I think I must accept I am a full blown dad now."

"Name wise after this weekend I think 'rice, rice baby' has a nice ring to it," he joked.

The new mom also posted a series of photos to her Instagram in celebration of the happy occasion, holding her baby on her chest. "The love of my life 💜," she captioned the carousel.

Horner first announced the couple's exciting news on her Instagram in May, posting a few black and white photos of the pair holding their sonogram photos. "The best news to share...🤍," the model captioned her post.

The actor also shared the photos to his Instagram, writing "And I thought I wasn't getting enough attention when the dog arrived...🎉🍾👶🏻."

Since sharing her announcement, Horner has posted several photos throughout her pregnancy, including a vacation picture that celebrated her 7-month mark. Baring her belly in a silver bikini, Holker posed on a white railing in Mykonos, Greece.

"7 months of growing you 🤰🏼. Having the best time staying at @cavotagoomykonos @beyondtalentglobal ☀️🏝️," she wrote in the caption.

In one of her last pregnancy updates, the model shared a photo of her bump from the side, wearing only lingerie. "Impatiently waiting for you 🤍," she said.
