Congratulations to Tessa James and her husband Nate Myles on the arrival of their new bub!

After much speculation, the former Home and Away actress has confirmed the birth of her child on Instagram.

No word yet on the sex of the baby, or the name – but we’re ready and waiting!

The 26-year-old shared the below snap of her husband, NRL player Nate Myles, pushing a pram and captioned the picture with an adorable Winnie the Pooh quote:

“‘As soon as i saw you i knew a grand adventure was about to happen’ – Winnie the Pooh”.

Tessa, who was diagnosed with cancer at just 23-years-old had her life pulled to a crashing halt – so fans were filled with joy for the happy couple and followed them on their pregnancy journey closely.

In fact, fans have long been speculating that Tessa had already had her baby.

Recently, the stunning new mama shared a beach-side snap showing her basking in the sun – her baby bump on full display in a stylish black one-piece.

“Summer 2017,” the star cryptically captioned the snap, which could perhaps indicate it’s a throwback and maybe she’s trying to throw us off the scent and her baby has been born?

Or perhaps, like so many of us at the start of a new year, Tessa simply forgot to write 2018.

Tessa’s agent confirmed she was five months pregnant in August last year, so according to our calculations her due date was around December.

Here’s the photo in question

Further fuelling speculation she has maybe become a mum, last week Tessa posted a shot of Manly’s iconic Shelly Beach walkway which prompted a curious friend to ask: “Ummm is this a current photo??”

To which Tessa replied: “I wish.”

It’s all very confusing indeed, but one thing’s for sure – Tessa has never looked happier or healthier!

One thing is for sure, we couldn’t be happier for the couple!
