Love Island Australia 's Justin Lacko has become a dad after leaving the villa unlucky in love.
The hunky 29-year-old was booted off the show by pal Eden Dally in the series that was filmed in 2018 and being shown on ITV2 this summer.
After leaving the show single, Justin had some amazing news in recent weeks.
Two years after the show, he's taken on fatherhood after his ex-girlfriend gave birth to their first child six weeks ago.
His gorgeous baby boy was born in May during the coronavirus lockdown.
"Welcome to the world Leo Jace Barone-Lacko! Born 11 May 2020. how I will treasure you forever. My love for you is unconditional," he wrote next to an Instagram snap of his son.
Fans are clearly delighted for the star after he left the villa without a partner.
Justin was in a relationship with his son's mother - Anita Barone-Scott - on and off for five years. The pair split just before Leo's birth weeks ago.
One fan commented on his snap: "Congratulations imm so happy for you. Just catching up with love island in the uk and I just cried because you were voted off! Xxxx [sic]."
"I'm so happy for you both. He will be your world," another wrote.
A third gushed: "What a beautiful baby, just gorgeous x."️
During an appearance on the Kyle and Jackie O Show following his exit, Justin explained about his former relationship: "You know you can't force something that's not really meant to be there.
"I have all the support in the world, and she's beautiful, and I adore her.
"But I just think that this situation where it is now is probably the right thing for both of us."
Justin left the Love Island villa after spending 18 days getting to know his co-stars.
He was partnered up with Millie, but the pair friend-zoned each other.
Alongside a clip of his eviction, Justin penned on Instagram: "So this just happened... 2 years ago just for a laugh. #friendisland."
