Jack and Roxy took Elsie home from the Lindo Wing at St Mary’s in London earlier this month.
The Lindo Wing has seen a host of Royal births including The Princess of Wales who welcomed her three children there, as well as many other famous faces.
After taking their baby home, Jack was full of love on as he praised ‘amazing’ Roxy and shared the first photos of their newborn daughter.
Taking to Instagram, Jack admitted the experience was both ‘utterly overwhelming’ and ‘joyous’ in ways he ‘couldn’t have imagined’.
He wrote: ‘Well this just happened! Utterly overwhelming and joyous in ways I couldn’t have even imagined.
‘In awe of my partner @roxyhorner who has been amazing throughout this journey and is going to be the greatest mum ever. So excited to have started a family of my own.
‘Having vowed I’d never be that guy I am now 100% going to be the parent that shows everyone endless pictures of their kid. I also wore skechers 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.’
After returning home from hospital, Roxy took to Instagram to share snaps with her little one laid across her chest.
Roxy propped herself up on some pillows and showed off her pink baby girl-themed manicure to celebrate the new arrival.
She captioned the sweet update: ‘Snuggles at home,’ and a heart emoji.
