The couple have shared a sweet snap of their new arrival
Ryan Gallagher MAFS star has welcomed his first child with fiancée Emily Seebohm giving fans a first look at their baby and the unusual name they've chosen.
The reality TV star first met Emily on The Challenge Australia last year - a reality competition show in which Australian celebrities are paired up to compete in unpredictable and demanding games for their chance at winning $100,000.
And while some fans are wondering who is still together from Married At First Sight Australia? there's some exciting news for MAFS star Ryan.
Just four months into their relationship, Ryan proposed to Emily, with the couple yet to plan a wedding and now they have become parents.
The couple announced that they were expecting their first child together in July this year when Ryan uploaded a video holding his belly like he was nursing a baby bump before revealing that his Olympic swimmer fiancee Emily is pregnant as she showed off her pregnancy.
But in announcing the baby's arrival, Ryan first changed his Facebook profile photo to one with him and Emily and their newborn son without a caption.
And Ryan later took to Instagram to share their baby's full name. He captioned a selfie with, "The last 10 days have have been the best of my life to date, Sampson Ryan Seebohm has changed our lives and we bloody love him he’s perfect."
