It's been three years since Adam Aveling and Tayah Victoria were paired up on E4's Married At First Sight UK in 2021 – and their love story just keeps getting better.
After tying the knot for real and welcoming their daughter Beau, the reality TV faves shared more happy news last December – baby number two was on the way!
Now the wait is over, as the couple have officially welcomed their second bundle of joy.
Taking to Instagram last week, Tayah posted an adorable photo of her newborn son, with the caption: "Introducing our son, Jenson Joe Aveling (JJ) 💙 we could not be happier and more in love ❤️"
Fans flooded to the comment section to send their congratulations with one writing: "Congratulations guys! He's a beauty and I love the name! 😍 Hope you're both doing well and hopefully see you soon xx"
Another added: "Awwwww well done mummy 😍 congratulations guys ❤️ perfect little family xxxx"
A third penned: "'How beautiful this is and also that you both have made such an amazing family from meeting on a tv programme. Just love it x."
Yesterday she posted a photo of her cuddling Jenson and wrote: "Can not believe our little man is 2 weeks old today, wish I could do this birth all over again. This is how we've spent the majority of those two weeks. Lots of snuggles."
The Doncaster-based couple shared the gender of their second baby back in December.
The mum-of-two previously said how she was going to try and do things differently this time when it comes to the birth of her second child.
She revealed: "So, with Beau, I kind of just went along with whatever the professionals recommended and I'm doing the same for this baby.
"I did want an epidural with Beau, but I was too far on to get one, so I'd say that's probably the only thing I'd maybe ask for.
"I would like to have a natural birth but if it happens that I need a C-section, then it wouldn't bother me. I just want whatever is the safest way to bring my baby into the world. I'm trying not to overthink too much because that's when I'll get stressed."
She added: "I'm looking forward to being in a newborn bubble and just enjoying every minute. I said at the beginning of this pregnancy that I'm determined to enjoy it – until the sickness kicked in [laughs].
Mafs couples that have stood the test of time
Loved-up Tayah Victoria and Adam Aveling of series six fame had the first Mafs baby.
The pair couldn't keep their hands off each other on the programme and quickly found their feet in the outside world, moving into Adam's Doncaster home.
Just 18 months after meeting, the couple welcomed their daughter Beau.
Season five couple Michelle Walder and Owen Jenkins also managed to make their marriage work away from the cameras and had their first child in December.
Teacher Michelle, 29, has no regrets about taking part in the experiment. She told us: 'I just feel very lucky and thankful that it has worked out - and excited for everything to come.'
Michelle and Owen were both sick of dating apps when they applied in 2019.
Owen recalled: 'I had been out for some drinks with a friend after work.
"While he was out for a cigarette I was scrolling on Instagram waiting for him to come back in.
'The MAFS advert was the last thing I saw, and I joked, 'Wouldn't it be funny if I signed up?'
'A few beers later when I was back at home I sent in the application, and the rest is history.'
Another couple to make Mafs UK history is Zoe Clifton and Jenna Robinson.
Despite a slight rocky start, where they clashed over Jenna's vegan lifestyle, the show's first same sex pairing are still going strong.
They even have a successful podcast together called Life With a Pod.
Jenna shed light on being involved in the show earlier this year when she told us: "We're not legally married, and I never felt like we were. I definitely feel the process makes you take the relationship a lot more seriously and having the help of the experts… if you can survive that process it sets a firm foundation for a long-lasting relationship."
"With Beau, I felt fine physically but struggled mentally, whereas now I am positive but feel horrific.
"With Beau, I felt like I couldn't really soak anything in, I was so anxious all of the time. It's been quite a process mentally and it's really only in the last six months that I've felt better."
The couple, who welcomed their daughter Beau in October 2022, tied the knot away from the cameras in an official wedding last Christmas in front of friends and family.
Adam previously said: "We were going to get married on the date that both our parents got married so we were going to keep that tradition going, but now the baby is due around then so that can't happen.
"Otherwise Tayah would probably be going into labour walking down the aisle and be in the hospital in a wedding dress!"

He picked Irish beauty Megan before getting her to lay on her tummy on the floor. Conor then hovered above her as they giggled and he said: "Pump." Tommy, who Megan is currently coupled up with, watched on in horror and shook his head. Welsh beauty Emily, who Conor said he was most invested in, then said: "If he carries on, he'll never find out how I am in bed." Elsewhere in the racy game, Helena lands on a dare and Dejon dares her to kiss the person that she'd chose to recouple with, she kisses Harrison. When she pulls a truth card, Harry asks Megan how she genuinely feels about Conor. She tells the group: 'Me and Conor got on from the start and that got cut short so I feel like there's unfinished business there, as you would say [Harry]'. Toni is asked how she feels to know that Harrison isn't just interested in her, given Helena's kiss in her dare. Toni responds 'When we talk to each other, he says the best chats are with me so he knows where home is'. Terrified Love Island star reveals relief after 'surviving' hot air balloon ride Yasmin then puts Harrison on the spot: 'Do you think the best chats are with Toni?' Harry is dared to kiss the Islander he's best suited to whilst Shea is dared to tell each Islander the first word he thinks of them, to mixed reactions. In the teaser trailer for tonight's episode, which was shared with viewers on Friday night, In the brief clip, it was clear that Tommy snogged Welsh beauty Emily as Irish beauty Megan looked on in horror. Tommy is coupled with Megan, but now it looks like there might be tension between the two. He then sensationally smooched Shakira as well. Meanwhile, the real bombshell of the game looked to be Shakira's steamy smooch with Harry. In the teaser clip's edit, it seemed as though the Islanders were asked to snog who they'd most like to be coupled up with. It then cut to Shakira smooching Harry as Helena and Ben looked at their current love interests with disgust. "Is that Shakira and Harry kissing?" said one viewer in reaction to the teaser clip, at the time.

Kelsey Parker's baby name and beautiful meaning after devastating stillbirth
Kelsey Parker told fans earlier today the "earth-shattering" news of the loss of her son. Kelsey Parker shared the devastating news that she has lost her third child after an "earth-shattering" stillbirth. Kelsey issued the heartbreaking update earlier today after announcing she was expecting her first child with partner Will Lindsay in January. The podcast host posted an emotional poem dedicated to her son, and revealed she and Will had decided to name him Phoenix. According to the Oxford English dictionary, as writes the Mirror, the word Phoenix as a noun is described as: "A bird resembling an eagle but with sumptuous red and gold plumage, which was said to live for five or six hundred years in the deserts of Arabia, before burning itself to ashes on a funeral pyre ignited by the sun and fanned by its own wings, only to rise from its ashes with renewed youth to live through another such cycle." Another definition states "A person or thing of unique excellence or matchless beauty; a paragon." Legends of the Phoenix are linked to stories of renewal, resurrection, and immortality. The mum of two told Instagram followers earlier today (Sunday, June 22) as she posted a poem dedicated to her son. Alongside the three-verse poem Kelsey shared, entitled 'Born Sleeping, Forever Loved, she said: 'Phoenix Parker-Lindsay, you will forever be loved." Kelsey, who hosts the Mum's The Word! podcast with Danny Jones' wife Georgia, then shared a second message asking for space while she processes her grief with her loved ones. She added: "Before I receive an influx of lovely messages and heartfelt wishes, I wanted to just say that I truly appreciate everything you are all going to say and share. "But with the news being so raw, I would really like to ensure that we as a family are given space and time to process this devastating and earth-shattering news. I love you all and thank you for your understanding and space. Love always, Kelsey, Will, and the Parker Family." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Friends and followers joined together to send her love and pay tribute. GMB host Charlotte Hawkins said: "Oh no Kelsey I'm so sorry, just heartbreaking. Sending you so much love." Former Love Island star Olivia Bowen said:" Kelsey I'm so sorry. Thinking of you all and sending you so much love." Kelsey is already mum to daughter Aureila, five, and son Bodhi, four, who she shared with her late husband Tom Parker - the beloved The Wanted singer who tragically passed away in 2022 at the age of 33 following a battle with cancer. In January she opened up in an interview with the Mirror and revealed her excitement about the pregnancy - and that it had been a "happy accident". She said she was preparing Aurelia and Bodhi for the new arrival, and spoke about telling Tom's family. Kelsey said Tom's mum Noreen had given her blessing as she added: "All I care about is that both our families and Tom's family are happy. Noreen is the most amazing lady. After Tom passed, she said to me, 'as long as you're happy Kels, whatever you do, we will always support you and be happy for you.' "We've all been through so much together. But I'm here and bringing another baby into the world."
