Congratulations are in order for Jordan Banjo.
The Diversity star has just welcomed his first child, he has announced via Instagram.
His partner Naomi Courts gave birth to a son on Monday, he revealed. They have named him Cassius Ashley, no doubt a nod to Jordan’s older brother Ashley.
The dancer shared an image of himself walking out of hospital carrying the tot.
In the caption, he revealed that their son was born on Monday but that they delayed sharing the news to take time together as a new family.
“We wanted to take some time to appreciate and enjoy the beautiful moment that we had as a family,” he wrote.
“Words cannot describe the feeling of seeing your future come into this world. I’m so proud of mum and baby, both are doing absolutely amazing and @naomiella21 you are a super woman.
“If I didn’t know it before, I do now, I am the luckiest man there is. Welcome to the world Cassius Ashley Banjo.”
Jordan and Naomi announced that they were expecting their first child back in January.
They’ve been together since 2013.
Jordan has previously spoken about wanting to marry Naomi but the couple put their plans on hold when they learned that Naomi was expecting.
“We weren’t trying so I was sure (the pregnancy test) was going to be negative. I sat with them all laid out in front of me on the bathroom floor, staring at them in disbelief.
“We always said we wanted kids together, we just didn’t think it would happen this soon. We’re over the moon, though!”
