Tilly Whitfeld and Tommy Latu have welcomed their first child.
But the birth did not go smoothly, with the Big Brother Australia star, 25, rushed into an emergency C-section.
Announcing the arrival of their son in an Instagram post on Monday, Tilly and footballer Tommy, 24, revealed the dramatic details.
‘Western Fonua Latu,’ the caption began, as the couple shared the little boy’s sweet and unusual name.
‘A 20 hour labour and two hours pushing ended in an emergency C-section, but our lives are changed forever,’ they continued.
‘So grateful for the midwives and doctors that get these babies earthside.

‘We appreciate you all so much for checking in – the newborn love bubble is so real.’
Alongside the announcement was a video that showed details of the birth – and Tommy’s new tattoo to honour his son.
The reality star and rugby union player announced they were expecting in August last year.
In the sweet clip, Tilly held up a positive pregnancy test while showing off her growing bump in a white crop top and low-waisted skirt.
‘You guys, do you think this is positive? Do I look pregnant?’ Tilly joked.
Tommy chimed in, hilariously asking, ‘Who did that?’, as he pointed at his partner’s belly.
The video went on to show a montage of the couple telling their loved ones that they were expecting a baby boy.
‘We’re pregnant?! A post we didn’t think we’d be making this soon… this was not on our 2025 bingo card, but we’re so excited for this next chapter,’ the caption read.

‘To our little boy – we cannot wait to meet you, you’re already loved more than you’ll ever know.’
Tilly and the rugby star met four years ago while partying in Sydney’s Northern Beaches.
The couple went Instagram official in January 2022.
Tilly told Daily Mail at the time she was in love with the strapping sportsman.
Later, Tommy sent his Instagram followers into a frenzy when he shared a video of himself and Tilly inspecting a nursery at a Costco warehouse.
‘We should have a baby,’ he wrote alongside the footage.
