Love Island presenters Iain Sterling and Laura Whitmore are officially parents of two!
The former Love Island UK host, 41, and the Love Island narrator, 38, welcomed their second baby together, sharing the news with separate posts on Instagram.
In Whitmore's post, their newborn's little legs and feet peeked out behind custom-made treats that had "littlest living legend" written in script over a cookie stroller. As for Sterling's post, he shared a snap of his baby's custom-made hat, sweater and booties set that a fan sent him with the words "Littlest Living Legend" etched into the sweater in beige.
"Say hello to our newest living legend," he captioned the post. "I always wanted someone in the house who would stay up late and watch the World Cup with me. But this feels a little excessive."

Back in February, the couple revealed they were expecting their second baby together on Whitmore's Instagram on Wednesday, Feb. 18. The soon-to-be mom of two shared a few pictures from her maternity shoot and revealed how she successfully hid her growing bump over the past few months.
"Instagram V Reality — Spoiler: It wasn’t just a big meal mama ate," she wrote. "She’s been cooking away! I’d like to thank stretchy pants and travel sick bags."
In the comment section, Sterling shared sweet sentiments to his wife and their new addition, simply commenting, "I love you."
The new addition joins the couple's 5-year-old daughter Stevie Ré, who was born in March 2021. Back in December 2020, the doting mom shared the news of her first pregnancy following their intimate wedding ceremony.
"So I've always tried to be protective over the personal side of my life. A lot of things are just for me and my loved ones and we've chosen not to share publicly," the reality TV host wrote alongside an image of a Guns N' Roses "Sweet Child O' Mine" onesie bearing the words "Coming 2021."
"However, I want to now share good news as it's our news to share – and I'm gonna be honest, it's starting to look like my lockdown beer belly is out of control. Iain and I are expecting a baby early 2021," she continued, adding that she successfully combined early pregnancy with presenting a weekly show on BBC Radio 5 and appearing in the comedy panel show Celebrity Juice.

Whitmore went on to explain how "hard" it was to keep the happy news quiet.
"It's been hard to keep such happy news quiet. Especially the times when I've had to run out of live radio to get sick in a bin or my penchant for a bowl of mashed potato in the morning," she said. "I wasn't hungover like everyone thought. In fact I was completely sober filming the entire series of Celeb Juice, which is quite the accolade!"
"We'd appreciate our privacy respected, but just wanted to spread some love and a reminder of the beauty of life ❤️," added Whitmore.
Stirling also made the news public — although in his case, it was slightly more tongue-in-cheek: the comedian posted an image of his gaming console with a note attached on its side that read: "I will miss you xxx."
"Sorry to my old babies but there is a new baby coming early 2021. 👶🏻 🍼," he wrote in the caption at the time.
