Actor Hugh Jackman commented: "Congrats mate!." while fitness influencer the Body Coach penned: "Absolutely wonderful news. Congratulations mate. Love to the family."

Gordon and Tana's baby news may come as a surprise to some as they never officially announced that Tana was pregnant again, however, Gordon hinted that she might be earlier this year.

In the images shared, Gordon could be seen giving the little one a kiss on the head as Tana held him. He also shared a couple of pics of Tana excitedly smiling next to baby Jesse.

Tana shared the same photos on her own Instagram account, as well as an image of the baby meeting old brother Oscar.

"It’s been a nerve wracking 9 months but we’ve made it and we have been blessed with this little bundle," Tana wrote in her caption. "Ramsay family definitely complete. Jesse James Ramsay we love you so much".
