It’s official; H from Steps is a dad!
And the Steps star couldn’t resist sharing his happy news on Twitter.
Taking to the social media site, he wrote happily: “We are DADS!”
Ian added a sweet black-and-white photograph of two hospital wristbands, which revealed that his sons had been born shortly after 2am on 6th March 2016.
The former Celebrity Big Brother star added excitedly: “We are totally and utterly in love!”
However, as you can see from the snapshot, he has yet to reveal his baby boy name choices to the world.
He and his partner Craig Ryder announced that they were expecting twins in December last year, via a cute animated video.
In a series of colourful scenes, the video explained: "Together we've been on lots of adventures!
"But our biggest adventure is about to begin!
"For a long time we have been wishing, and our wish is about to come true!
"We are going... to be dads!!!
"There's more... it's twins!!!"
It finished: "The Ryder-Watkins twins.... arriving soon!"
Ian and Craig have been trying for a baby for sometime, and, in 2012, revealed that they were heartbroken after their surrogate had miscarried their child.
Speaking to The People, Ian explained that hearing the news that his child's heart stopped beating was the “worst moment of his life."
“We were thinking of names, and we even planned our first Christmas as a family. We were both ready to be Dads,” he said.
“I just feel really empty and helpless. The only person who can help me is Craig.”
We’re so glad that the couple have now welcomed their beautiful rainbow babies - and we can’t wait to hear what they’ve named their little boys.
Congratulations once again to Ian Watkins and Craig Ryder!
