Gemma Atkinson has revealed the name of her new baby boy and the special reason behind it.

The actor announced the arrival of her adorable son with partner Gorka Marquez earlier this week (19 July).

It’s Gemma’s second child with the Strictly Come Dancing pro-dancer Marquez, as the pair also share Mia, three.

The couple met during the former Hollyoaks star’s time on the BBC dance contest in 2017 – although they weren’t actually paired together – and went public with their relationship in early 2018.

And she's now revealed their newborn son's name.

Gemma shared a sweet snap of their new baby, Thiago Thomas.

Sharing the first snap of her little baby to Instagram, Gemma writes: "Thiago Thomas Marquez. “Our family is complete.”

In the picture, little Thiago lays sweetly for the snap, wearing a dark blue top and a spotted blanket.

Gemma also explained the heart-warming reason behind his name on her Instagram story.

“Thiago is originally a Portuguese name (Gorka’s mum is from Portugal).

“And Thomas was my dad’s middle name so there’s the mix of the two,” the new mum-of-two writes.

Already giving him a cute nickname, she adds: “Tio is thriving and it feels like he’s always been here. Mia is obsessed!”

The pair feel ‘extremely lucky’ to have welcomed their second child and shared earlier in the week that they are ‘all home together’ in a ‘little bubble’ as Gorka leaves for Strictly rehearsals soon.

Cooing at the beautiful baby picture, celebrity pals of the pair gushed in the comments with It Takes Two host Janette Manrara writing: “Look at him! CONGRATULATIONS GUYS!”

Helen Skelton also puts: “Perfection x.”

And fellow pro-dancer Dianne Buswell even says: “Mini you Gorks,” with Neil Jones writing: “Love the name Thiago.”

Big Brother UK winner Kate Lawler also comments: “Omg he looks so much like Mia. Perfect little boy. Congratulations guys.”

Announcing the birth of Thiago earlier this week, Gemma wrote that he ‘arrived safe and sound’ and is ‘utterly wonderful’.

She also hilariously added of her toddler daughter: “Mia is already the mother hen we expected her to be.”

Gorka has been giving fans regular updates.

They announced they were expecting at the beginning of the year, with a gorgeous Instagram post of her growing baby bump.

Since then, her and Gorka have given plenty of updates of the journey, including Gemma’s dedication to still working out in their home gym.

We’re glad to hear though that the mum managed to get her way with the name as she'd previously said on Instagram of Mia: “So far she’s adamant he’s going to be called Barbie.”
