Proud dad JB Gill announces the safe arrival of his 'beautiful baby boy' with wife Chloe
FORMER JLS singer JB Gill has revealed his joy at becoming a first-time father with wife Chloe.
The 27-year-old star – full name Jonathan Benjamin – announced the couple's happy news on Twitter confirming Chloe gave birth to their son last Friday.
He posted: "A little nose, lots of hair and looking like his mummy our baby boy was born 19/09/14 weighing 6lb15."
Meanwhile, Chloe also gushed about their little bundle of joy, tweeting: "I'm so blessed to have a little miracle in my arms, thank you JB - Couldn't have done it without you. I'm so in love with my boys."
The couple, who tied the knot earlier this year in a lavish ceremony at Mount Stuart country house on the Isle of Bute in Scotland, have been inundated with congratulations messages from their showbiz friends.
JB's former bandmate Marvin Humes and his Saturdays star wife Rochelle kickstarted the well wishes and revealed they have already met the newborn.
Marvin wrote on Twitter:"Had the pleasure of meeting JB Gill and Chloe's beautiful baby boy.. so proud of you both! God Bless you all."
Meanwhile Rochelle, who is mum to one-year-old Alaia-Mai, appears to have already grown attached to their friends' adorable tot.
She posted: "He is such a beautiful boy, he gave me the bestest cuddle. Didn't wanna hand him back over Proud of u both."

JB previously admitted he felt less nervous about becoming a dad for the first time as Marvin had prepped him with advice for Chloe's labour.
He told Star magazine: "He’s actually given me a book called Pregnancy for Men. It’s a really good book."
"It just documents everything and goes through it for men, because obviously men don’t physically experience birth so it’s difficult for us to grasp all the things that go into it, and to understand the female’s point of view.
"So it’s almost like a documentation of that".
