AceShowbiz - Dustin Lance Black and Tom Daley have shared the first sweet snap of their baby boy.
The Oscar-winning screenwriter and the Olympic diver welcomed their first child, Robert Ray, via surrogate on 27 June.
Dustin and Tom took out a notice in British newspaper The Times on Saturday, June 30, to announce their good news, with the tot sharing the same name as the 24-year-old diver's father, who died in 2011 after battling cancer.
"On 27 June 2018 to Thomas Robert Daley and Dustin Lance Black, a son, Robert Ray," the notice read.
In one of the baby boy's first photos shared on Dustin's Instagram page, both fathers are cradling Robert's head in the intertwined hands.
"Welcome to the world little Robbie Ray," Black captioned the black and white shot on Saturday. "Thank you for bringing so much love and light with you. And thank you to those who helped make our dream of having a family into this wonderful reality."
Tom also shared a heartwarming snap of Robert's little feet, and described the moment of becoming a father as magical.
"Welcome to the world our precious little Robbie Ray Black-Daley," he began. "The most magical moment of my life. The amount of love and joy you have brought into our life is immeasurable. Our precious son."
In February, Dustin and Tom announced they were expecting their first child together via surrogate, and shared a snap of them holding up a sonogram of their impending bundle of joy.
They previously said they didn't want to know who the biological dad is as they both provided sperm to fertilise the surrogate's eggs.
Tom and the 44-year-old director, who will raise their son in London, got married in May last year (17).
