Jason and Kylie Kelce have revealed their newborn daughter's name - and it has a very special meaning behind it.
The couple - who already have three children together - revealed the happy news on Instagram on Monday (1 April) that Kylie had given birth to a beautiful baby girl on 30 March.
Sharing a snap of their newborn donning a sweet pink cap with blue bow, Kylie wrote: "Whoop, there she is!" Before revealing the little one has been named, Finnley Anne Kelce.

Although the parents have yet to confirm why they decided on this name, 'Finnley' actually has a beautiful meaning, with The Bump explaining that the gender-neutral name has Irish and Scottish origins.
"Meaning 'fair-haired courageous one,' 'blond warrior,' or 'blond hero'," the site states.
"This valiant title comes from the Gaelic surname Fionnlagh. Though Finnley is especially popular for boys in the US, girls can rock this name, too!
"Finnley is connected to Finn, which derives from the Old Irish name Fionn. The famous mythological warrior Fionn mac Cumhaill - pronounced 'mac-cool' - is a notable figure in Irish and Scottish lore, most famous for eating the Salmon of Knowledge.
"Finnley is a wonderful name to honour Gaelic ancestry, and it will take a powerful soul like baby’s to bear it with honour!"
Jason and Kylie have three older children - Wyatt, who was born in October 2019, followed by her little sister Elliot, in March 2021 and Bennett, born in 2023.
Fans have noticed that the pair have chosen names that could be given to either a boy or a girl, with Kylie discussing the family tradition on her Not Gonna Lie podcast.
"Going on fourth, it’s like a disaster," she joked at the time. "You’ve already used them all up. All bets are off."
Kylie continued: "If we do a full commit to a girly name at this point, it would not sit well with the other three, I think. Eventually, they’ll be like, 'Why did they get a cute girly name?'"
She went on to admit that she and Jason 'have to lean a little bit towards those sort of gender-neutral names'.
"We debated Charlie for our first, and then within, I think, six months, we had three different friends who named their kid Charlie," Kylie said.
"This was six years ago. And Jason and I were like, 'Shoot'. Wyatt is a Wyatt, but I love the name Charlie."
Speaking on the 23 January episode, she went on to explain: "When you suggest a baby name, think of the nicknames that would then go along with that name.
"I know a lot of great Garys but I cannot name my daughter Garrett knowing that her nickname would be Gary."
