YouTuber Elle Darby has finally shared a photo of her baby boy after giving birth to him earlier this month.
It was only recently that her celebrity friends rushed to congratulate the social media star on welcoming her baby boy into the world and now Elle has opened up about giving birth to him.
Posting a series of photos from her time before and after welcoming her little one she wrote, "How do I find the words to explain the most magical moment of my life, the moment it felt like life actually began?
"The cliché everyone tells you about the new, overwhelming, all-powerful love you unlock when you hold your baby for the first time is the truest thing ever but you never really get it until the little life you created is in your arms..."
She added, "Honestly, I thought I had a purpose before him, but being this little boy’s mummy makes it so clear to me as to why I was put here 🤍".
Elle then dedicated the rest of her Instagram post to her fiancé Connor Swift, who she has been with for seven years.
"HOW this is possible after 7 years of the deepest love I will never know, but my love and adoration for @connorswift1 has just sky rocketed after watching him become a father - I genuinely am the luckiest woman in the world to have you & you’re already our baby boy’s hero 🥇".
Thousands of her followers rushed to praise her with Saffron Barker writing, "So happy for you both ❤️❤️❤️".
Real Housewives of Cheshire's Taylor Ward commented, "Huge congratulations ❤️❤️".
Another one of her followers said, "So happy for you 😭 I hope you’re all doing ok xx".
One more added ,"Watching your birth vlog now with tissues on stand by! I have just so much happiness & love for you guys & your newest family member!!! Enjoy every moment 💙💙".
