Joe Swash paid tribute to the “love of his life” Stacey Solomon as he announced the birth of their first child together.

Swash shared a picture of “super human”​ Solomon cradling their newborn minutes after the labour on Thursday morning.

“This morning. A lot earlier than planned I watched the love of my life, bring a new life into the world,” he wrote. “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.”

Swash said he was “lost for words” before telling fans: “I’m going to spend the next few days and the rest of my life falling more in love with these two humans.”

He finished: “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.”

The pair, who moved in together last year after two years of dating, were inundated with congratulatory messages from friends and fans.

Solomon's Loose Women co-star Ruth Langsford commented: “Congratulations love birds! SO happy for you both!”

Former Strictly star James Jordan wrote: "Congratulations to both of you beauties on the new addition to your already wonderful family. Big love!!!”

Samantha Faiers, Laura Whitmore and Joel Dommett (via his fiance Hannah Cooper) also sent their well wishes, while Loose Women's Jane Moore joked: “I guess you won't be doing the show tomorrow then!!”

Solomon has yet to comment on the birth, but shared Swash's picture and comment on her own Instagram account.

The couple, who have not disclosed the baby's gender, announced they were expecting their first child together in February. Swash published the news on Instagram with pictures of Solomon sleeping and joked that he thought she had become “bored senseless” of him, before learning that “she still loves me and my company very much she’s just been growing a baby”.

Solomon kept fans up to date with her pregnancy, posting several snaps of her hairy bump as well as documenting her desperate attempts to keep cool.

The Loose Women star is also a mum to sons Zachary, 10, and Leighton, six. Swash also shares son Harry with his ex.
