Love Island's Luis Morrison and girlfriend welcome baby boy nearly three months early

Love Island 's Luis Morrison has become a dad again - after his son was born nearly three months early.

The former professional footballer shot to fame on the first ever series of the ITV2 show back in 2015 and he has revealed his and girlfriend Chloe Elizabeth's joy, as the pair welcomed their son Romeo into the world.

Romeo was born 11 weeks early, but Luis and Chloe are hopeful to have the little one home in time for Christmas.

"Welcome to the world Baby Romeo!" he wrote alongside the adorable snap of his newborn.

"Romeo was born 11 weeks early, and can't wait to get him home hopefully before Christmas! Super proud of you already."

Chloe also shared the good news, calling her son a "little trooper" as she revealed he was born on October 18, weighing just 2lb 4oz.

"My little trooper, you will never understand how special and truly loved you are. It still doesn’t feel real yet. I Can’t wait to get you home and be your Mam forever," she penned in a sweet post.

Luis is already a dad to daughter Vienna, who he welcomed into the world in 2017 alongside his then-girlfriend Cally Jane Beech, who dated on and off for a few years after meeting her on the ITV2 show.

Friends and fans rushed to social media to offer their blessings to the couple, with the comments section on their pictures flooded with congratulatory messages.

"The name. Congratulations to the both of you xx," fellow Love Island star Abi Rawlings wrote, whilst The Only Way Is Essex's Mario Falcone also offered a sweet message for the pair, writing "Congratulations", alongside a red heart emoji.

Luis and Chloe announced they were expecting back in July, where they shared a sweet snap of a baby grow and polaroid pictures of their baby scan. One of the outfits read 'I love my Daddy' while the other said 'I love my Mummy'.

"2021 turned out alright then! Can't wait to meet you. Our little blessing," he wrote alongside the adorable picture.

Chloe was also overjoyed to share the news back in the summer, as she admitted she "never thought in a million years" that she'd be posting something like this, as she joked she thought she had "escaped the lockdown baby boom".

"Half of me | half of you. Never thought in a million years I’d be writing this post but would like to announce me and lu are expecting January 2022," she shared.

"The biggest shock ever but I can’t wait to meet whatever he or she may be so overwhelmed will love and emotion. My heart is SO full just when I thought I’d escaped the lockdown baby boom."
