Gemma Atkinson melted our hearts once again on Thursday when she shared a new photo of her baby son, Thiago, whom she and her fiancé, Gorka Marquez, welcomed last week. 

The former Hollyoaks actress shared the touching snap on her Instagram Stories which showed her newborn lying on a mat wearing an adorable baby grow that has the most special family meaning, as it is adorned with an image of his two family pups, Ollie and Norman.

Gemma was lost for words and simply added a GIF of two red love hearts. On the babygrow were the words: “Loved and protected by my best friends, Norman and Ollie,” around illustrations of the pups and mulitcoloured shapes.

The sweet post followed a video of the former Strictly Come Dancing contestant fighting back tears whilst talking about her family pooches and how they interact with their newborn sibling.

In the video below, Gemma explained how after bringing Thiago home, the dog duo reacted differently to how they acted when Mia – Gemma and Gorka’s four-year-old – was brought home from the hospital.

Gemma became emotional as she shared the sweet story with her followers. “Four years in dog years is a long time, so they’ve got older as well,” turning away from the camera and fanning her eyes, adding: “Oh I can’t bear it, hormones!” 

It has been a rollercoaster Couple of weeks for the couple as following their baby joy, Gorka had to head to London on Monday to start rehearsals for this year’s Strictly Come Dancing.

The first photo she shared of little Thiago sparked a slew of comments from friends and fans with some saying how much the newborn takes after his big sister. 

“Omg he looks so much like Mia. Perfect little boy. Congratulations guys x,” one friend replied to the sweet home snap. Ruth Langsford added: “What a beautiful boy Congratulations!” Strictly pal Neil Jones weighed in writing: “Love them name Thiago,” alongside two orange heart emojis.

Gemma also shared a candid photo from when she was at the hospital and made a sweet revelation in the comments about Thiago’s arrival. After opting for a C-section, it came to light that the same surgeon who helped deliver Mia was on shift and was able to deliver Thiago.
