On Wednesday, the Victoria’s Secret model and Snapchat founder released a statement confirming the arrival of their son and revealed they had named him Myles.
Alongside a photograph of a personalised blanket with the baby’s name on it, Kerr wrote on Instagram: “We are overjoyed at the arrival of Myles and so appreciate everyone’s kind words and wishes during this special time.
“We couldn’t be more excited to welcome our beautiful son into our family.”
The image has since received more than 107,000 likes and been flooded with comments of support from fans and celebrity friends.
“Congrats babe,” fellow model Sofia Richie wrote.
Naomi Campbell added: “Congratulations to your new bundle of joy.”
Similarly, Paris Hilton wrote: “Congratulations!” alongside a series of red heart emojis.
Myles is the couple’s second son together. They also share 17-month-old Hart.
Kerr has another son, Flynn, eight, with ex-husband Orlando Bloom.
The Australian supermodel has been in a relationship with the billionaire tech entrepreneur since 2015, and they married in 2017.
The couple announced they were expecting their second baby in March but remained tight-lipped about the child’s gender, revealing that while they knew the sex and had potential names they wanted ”to keep a little” to themselves.
Despite choosing not to reveal any details about her baby until he was born, Kerr did share several photos of her growing bump on social media to keep fans updated.
The model also previously revealed she struggled with nausea throughout her pregnancy, saying: “I suffered quite a lot of morning sickness and I was on bed rest for a little while, then I pinched a nerve in my neck.
“‘Every woman is different. For some reason… with each three of my pregnancies, I’ve been super nauseous and a little more sensitive.
‘I’ve had morning sickness with all of them. With Flynn I had it, with Hart I had it, and now I have it again. Hopefully it will dissipate.”
