"Welcome to the world": Sophie Delezio shares first photos with baby boy
Sophie Delezio has announced the birth of her and fiancé Joseph Salerno’s first child on Friday.
"Welcome to the world, Frankie," she announced on Instagram, with a blue heart emoji and a black and white photograph of her newborn son holding her finger.
"Our hearts are so full."
A few days later she thanked fans for their support and well wishes and shared a few snaps of her holding baby Frankie.
“Thank you all for the kind words and well wishes!” she captioned another a black-and-white photo of her snuggling with her newborn son.
“We’re soaking in every moment with out little one and feeling like we’re on cloud nine.”
The new mum also offered a peek into Frankie's bedroom on her Instagram stories, with a wooden crib, animal atlas artwork and a personalised blanket.
“I can’t believe he’s finally here, and this room is now being used!” she captioned the nursery photo.
“It’s been such a wonderful journey watching it come together throughout my pregnancy."
Delezio and Salerno, who live in Sydney’s Northern Beaches, started dating during covid in 2021. Salerno proposed two years later on Valentine's day.
Delezio, who came to national attention after two horrific accidents as a child, announced that she was pregnant on her 23rd birthday.
Her journey has since been closely followed by Australians, with one of her followers saying: “I’ve followed your story since you were a tiny little girl and this had made me so happy today! Congratulations! Enjoy every second!”
