Holt took to social media to share the exciting news with her fans, sharing adorable pictures of her new baby boy.

"Welcome to the world Raven James. Mummy and Daddy love you to the stars and back," Holt posted.

Holt said she and partner Josh Tito were "over the moon" and at nearly two weeks in, they were "getting the hang of it".

Despite the pain and grief that the couple had been through, Holt said in an interview with Woman's Day in 2021 that with the support of family, they managed to pick themselves up and carry on.

Holt also said at the time that she would love nothing more than to realise her dream of motherhood in 2022.
