He captioned the post : "Meet Raphael Anders Redknapp, we’re so in love, mum is doing so well too. We can’t thank the amazing doctors and nurses at the Chelsea and Westminster enough. So excited for him to meet my boys."

The unique name they have chosen for their new son also has a special meaning to Frida's family.

Frida was originally born in Sweden and her native country's naming culture means her surname, Andersson, stands for "son of Anders".

Anders is representative of the family name - so it has an important place in the name of their new child.

Excited celebrity fans and followers have flooded the comments to gush over the new addition to the Redknapp family.

Hannah Walters said: "There he is!!!!!! He’s beautiful!!! Sending you all our love."

Martin Compston added: "Absolute wee belter Jamie pal."

John Bishop commented: "Congratulations to you all."

Jamie Carragher posted: "Congrats to you both"

David Jones said: "Little Raffy. Congrats to you both matey."
