Jett looked cute as a button in subsequent shots, dressed as a dinosaur, a snake, and swaddled snugly in a small wicker basket as a bear.
Captioning the images, James shared a gushing tribute to Tessa’s strength and bravery.
‘Our Beautiful Baby Boy, Jett. Born 18th June 2025 at 5:26pm,’ he wrote.
‘Tessa, I can’t thank you enough for bringing the most beautiful boy into the world. Thank you for giving your body, your mind, and your heart to start our little family.
‘I thought I understood love—but watching you go through labour and bring our son into the world took that love and admiration to a whole new level.
‘You are unbelievably strong, incredibly brave and already the most amazing mother. You mean the world to both me and Jett.’
James rounded out the post by thanking Tessa’s doctor and midwife for making the experience as smooth as possible.
‘Your experience and calm meant we had the birth we hoped for, with minimal intervention and every decision made with Tessa’s comfort and clarity in mind,’ he added.
