Love Island star Dani Dyer has finally revealed the name of her first child.
The reality star, 24, welcomed a little boy over the weekend with partner Sammy Kimmence.
Admitting it had been "a very long day and night", she shared a series of adorable photos of the little one who was born weighing 7lbs.
And now, Dani has shared with followers the name of their new arrival, confirming their baby boy is named Santiago.

Discussing on her podcast with dad Danny Dyer, the new mum said: "I know you're all probably wondering what we've called him. There's been a lot of assumptions going on, some are actually really funny to be fair, but his name is Santiago.
"I know a lot of you are probably thinking 'What?!' but that is his name but we are going to be calling him Santi.
"I think it sounds nice on the birth certificate."
Dani first announced the news she was expecting in July with a cute snap of her and Sammy alongside an ultrasound print-out.
"Me and Sammy are so excited to start this next chapter in our lives, feel so lucky and grateful... 2021," she said at the time.
Not long afterwards, she shared a scan of the little one, and gushed about how excited she was to welcome it to the brood.
"Makes our day seeing you," she wrote - tagging Sammy, too.
Throughout her pregnancy, Dani has updated fans on the ups and downs of her journey to motherhood - admitting to suffering from severe tiredness, and complained that even when she was getting 10 hours sleep she still woke up drained.
She also documented how she was "embracing" her changing physique, despite admitting that her pregnancy was "hard" at times.
Dani rekindled her romance with ex-boyfriend Sammy after splitting with Jack Fincham, who she met on Love Island series 4.
The former couple won the 2018 series and went on to star in their own reality show before going separate ways.
Jack himself became a parent this year, too, announcing the birth of his first child back in January.
Announcing the news earlier this year, he said: "I'm normally a very open book and share most of my life on my social media. This blessing I chose not to. I'm just a normal geeza, who went on a tv show, which throws you straight into the public eye... which I will forever be grateful for.
"However I knew for myself I needed personal time and to keep this part of my life private to prepare for this new responsibility and part of me that will change my life forever.
"... I am now a proud dad to a healthy baby girl Blossom Fincham born 8lb 2oz on 24th January 2020."
Who would have thought that both Dani and Jack would end up being parents so soon!
Congrats to Dani and Sammy!
