Zachariah Noble Welcomes Baby Boy with Girlfriend

Love Island star Zachariah Noble has become a father for the first time, as he welcomed a baby boy with his girlfriend Ava Hirons on Wednesday.

The couple began dating in October, just three months after he split from , and shared in February that they were expecting their first child.

Zachariah shared a collection of snaps from his son's birth, which he revealed fell on the same day as Ava's 29th birthday.

He captioned the post: 'In 29 years you’re definitely the best present yet. Welcome to the world little man. Birthday twins. Proud of you mumu.'

The reality star also shared images that showed him cradling his newborn son, as well as he supported Ava during labour.

The couple had previously shared the gender of their baby back in April, when Zach shared a snap of a striped baby grow, a matching hat, and grey fabric boots.

In the gallery, Zach was seen kissing Ava's bump as they posed for a series of loved-up selfies.

Alongside the post, the couple penned: 'Baby boy.'

To announce the pregnancy, the couple shared a picture of a baby scan on social media in February.

Alongside the sweet post, which included sweet snaps of the couple posing with their dog, he wrote: 'Incoming summer '26.'

Fans and Zach's fellow Love Island co-stars flocked to the comment box to share their congratulations.

The couple started dating in October and dropped many hints that suggested they were having a baby.

In one post, Zach revealed that he had just received the 'greatest news.'

He penned: 'Just found out the greatest news I think I've ever received. God must be real. Time to grind like never before.'

That same day, Ava, who is the daughter of This Morning star Caroline Hirons, reposted an Instagram clip about pregnancy fitness training.

Zach began dating Ava just three months after his split from Molly Marsh in July 2025, with whom he found romance during season 10 of ITV2's Love Island in 2023.

Zach and Molly were one of Love Island's success stories, dating for two years and even setting up a home together.

But she later admitted it was the 'best decision' for them to split as she broke her silence on their decision to call it quits.

, Molly admitted it had been an 'emotional, challenging, and deeply personal' time since she and Zach went their separate ways.

She said: 'Navigating my breakup from Zach has been one of the hardest things I have faced, something I have not spoken much about publicly.

'It has been emotional, challenging, and deeply personal, but through it all, I believe everything happens for a reason.

'Standing here tonight at the National TV Awards, I feel excited and ready for new beginnings.'

Molly and Zachariah first sparked a romance during season 10 of Love Island in 2023, after he caught the stunner's attention while she was coupled up with Mitch Taylor.

After briefly splitting last year, the couple rekindled their romance, but sources revealed earlier this summer that they'd decided to end their relationship.

Detailing the reason why she and Zachariah split, Molly said: 'It became apparent over time that it was the best decision for us to go our separate ways.'

Before attending the National Television Awards, Molly hadn't spoken publicly about her split from Zach, aside from confirming their relationship was over on Instagram.

Asked why she decided to stay quiet about the end of their relationship until now, Molly said: 'I never wanted to go into details as this is life and everyone can understand a level of privacy is needed in those times of change.

'I just wanted to make my followers aware, on a level of respect to them after their support on the show together, and now would like to move on and open to finding love.'

She and Zach previously split in March 2024, but rekindled their romance just a couple of months later during a brand trip Down Under.

They appeared smitten and even moved in together last summer, with Molly gushing about their 'great' relationship late last year.

She told The Sun: 'We absolutely needed that time apart, we're stronger than ever, and after moving in together, things are definitely going in the right direction. It's what we needed, it's going really well.'

After the couple first found a connection in the Majorca villa in 2023, Molly was dumped from the island after bombshell Kady McDermott picked Zac in a recoupling.

However, Molly returned during Casa Amor, and an initially frazzled Zach managed to win back her affections.

The pair, who finished fourth on the series together, lasted longer than any other couple from their series.
