Gemma Atkinson and Gorka Marquez have shared the happy news that their family is now 'complete'. The former Hollyoaks star, 38, and the Strictly Come Dancing pro dancer, 32, welcomed their son Thiago Thomas Marquez on Wednesday, July 19.
The couple took to Instagram to share a sweet picture of their new addition, with Gemma writing that their family was complete. The post was flooded with congratulatory messages from friends and fans, including Strictly stars Oti Mabuse and Sheridan Smith.
Thiago is a younger sibling for the couple's four-year-old daughter Mia, who they welcomed in July 2019. Gemma announced the birth of their son on Instagram, revealing that her 'little man is here' and that Mia was already proving to be the 'mother hen' they had expected.
The couple also took the time to thank the medical staff at the Royal Bolton Hospital who had supported them during the birth.
Weeks ahead of their son's arrival, Gemma and Gorka revealed that they had signed up to star in their own reality TV series. Gemma and Gorka: Life Behind the Lens will provide an unfiltered look at their lives as they prepare for their son's arrival while also dealing with the pressures of parenthood and work.
The couple shared their news of Gemma's pregnancy back in January with a series of adorable black and white snaps. Gemma wrote that they were feeling 'incredibly blessed and grateful to be on this journey again', with Mia 'absolutely thrilled' at the prospect of a new sibling.
The pair got engaged on Valentine's Day in 2021, after meeting on Strictly. Gemma was partnered with Alijaz Skorjanec and Gorka with Alexandra Burke.
It's been an exciting time for the couple, and now Gemma and Gorka can finally enjoy their new addition as their family is complete. Strictly Come Dancing returns later this year.
