Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash finally unveil baby name and cute reason behind it

Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash have finally revealed the name of their baby boy.

Stacey gave birth in late May 'earlier than planned' but was 'well and resting' after the birth

This is the couple's first child together, Stacey has two children from previous relationships and Joe has a son.

Today Joe shared a photo of their baby son to Instagram and revealed his name.

Joe shared a black and white snap of the baby and captioned it: "Welcome to the world REX TOBY FRANCIS SWASH!"

Stacey shared the same photo and explained the meaning behind the name: "Rex Toby Francis Swash.  Due today, born 23.05.2019 on my Mummy’s birthday.

"Rex because our boys think he sounds like a T-Rex  Francis is Joe’s Nanna’s name and Toby is my Nanna’s name.

"Its taken us this long to announce the name because for some strange, probably hormone and post birth related, reason I didn’t want to do it until his official due date."

And fans were quick to comment on the name.

One said: "Lovely name, he’s beautiful."

A second said: "Gorgeous name beautiful boy."

And a third added: "Just perfect! Congratulations! X."

Shortly after the birth Joe posted a picture of Stacey in her hospital bed whilst their child lay on her chest.

Joe said: "This morning. A lot earlier than planned I watched the love of my life, bring a new life into the world.

"We are overwhelmed, overjoyed and apprehensive of what’s to come. Mummy and baby are well and resting. We are so grateful for all of the love, support and positivity we’ve received over the last 8 months.

"I’m lost for words to describe how I’m feeling. So for now, I’m going to spend the next few days and the rest of my life falling more in love with these two humans.

"I didn’t think it possible but, today I witnessed the impossible. My partner, My love, my life, you are a super human. I am forever in awe. Joe X"
