Wife Sarah Tarleton posted the first snap of their son on Instagram – a gorgeous black and white snap of the infant dozing in his hospital cot, also revealing his name in the caption.
“He’s here... Jesse Patrick Chapman,” she said.
Many of the couple’s famous friends commented underneath to share their congratulations with the newly expanded family, with fellow YouTube star Zoe Sugg writing: “Congratulations guys! He’s gorgeous.”
Alfie Deyes also posted a heart emoji, while Louise Pentland said: “Ahhh absolutely gorgeous! Hello Jesse!”
Nicola Chapman, a makeup YouTuber and Chapman’s sister, wrote: “Can’t wait to meet my new little nephew. Well done guys.”
Chapman was previously married to childhood sweetheart Tanya Burr, having both risen to fame through vlogging.
The couple tied the knot in 2015 after being together since teens, but announced their split after 12 years together in 2019.
They vowed to remain friends despite their break-up, with Burr saying in a statement: "Just wanted to let you all know that a few weeks ago Jim and I made the painful decision to no longer be together.
"We have a huge amount of love and respect for each other and will continue to remain friends forever."
The beauty blogger added: "Thank you in advance for respecting our privacy at this difficult time."
Chapman echoed her words within his own Instagram post, writing: "After twelve incredible years, Tan and I have decided to go our separate ways.
"We're still absolutely the best of friends and have nothing but love and respect for each other.
"We will continue to support one another in all of our ventures and are both looking forward to what the future holds."
Chapman and his second wife Tarleton have been married since 2022, and already share a daughter – Margot Grace Alba, who was born the year before.
Earlier this year, the doting dad posted a photo of himself sitting with his daughter as they watched the rain pouring down outside.
“I really like being her dad," he said.
“Here’s to watching the rain with my little girl, for the rest of my life. (And the little man, when he arrives, obvs).”
