Home and Away star Isabella Giovinazzo has revealed the arrival of her first child.
The actress, 35, took to Instagram on Friday to reveal that she and her partner Shayne had welcomed a baby boy into the world.
Isabella made the announcement in very casual fashion, sharing a photo that showed her holding the bundle of joy on what appeared to be her front lawn.
She wore a brown and white flannelette shirt along with a pair of black tracksuit pants, finishing the casual ensemble with a pair of comfortable brown slippers worn over grey socks.
The new mum looked positively radiant – beaming as she tenderly cradled the newborn, who was content to fall asleep in Isabella’s arms.
The sweet scene was completed by Isabella’s partner, Shayne, who was well and truly in doting dad mode, proudly watching over mum and bub.
