The Today Show‘s sports presenter Alex Cullen has welcomed his third child – a baby boy.

Proud as anything, Alex shared his and wife Bonnie’s exciting news via their Instagram pages.

“We couldn’t be happier. Our healthy, happy little boy came into the world at 1.08 on Sunday morning weighing 3.7 kilograms,” he wrote.

“After 41 and a half weeks it was well and truly worth the wait! Name TBC and can’t wait for his big twin sisters Audrey and Evie to meet him, boss him and shower him with cuddles. I marvel at Bonnie’s strength especially in these very trying times. Just amazing. Mum and baby Cullen recovering well.”

Meanwhile, Bonnie shared her own snaps on Instagram, writing: “Look who’s finally arrived! Welcome to our beautiful baby boy.”

“Can’t wait to introduce him to our girls. Three under three – fun times ahead,” she wrote alongside laughing and love heart emojis.

The beautiful baby boy will no doubt be the apple of his parents eye as he joins two twin older sisters, Audrey and Evie.

Bonnie shared some beautiful photos from hospital.

The pregnancy has been a whirlwind for the Today presenter, who announced his wife was pregnant on national television back in February.

He casually revealed the news while chatting to host Karl Stefanovic and Ally Langdon as they discussed Wine Glass Bay – one of the first locations Alex took his now-wife Bonnie as a getaway.

“They’ve now had twins, they’re married, I’d say the trip went well,” Ally joked at him.

The quip prompted Alex to share the surprising news: “Hey, I should say, Bonnie’s pregnant!”

“I meant to tell you that. Sorry. Yeah, yeah, another one on the way, which is extremely stressful,” Alex said in regard to having just welcomed twin daughters, Audrey and Evie.

“Slightly earlier than we’d planned and three under three will be a challenge but we’re over the moon!” He added as Ally cheered with joy and Karl pronounced a resounding “Whaaaaat?!”

Alex welcomed his twin daughters with Bonnie in January 2020, with the besotted new dad announcing the news to his followers: “Our new family. Our beautiful girls were born in the very early hours of January 20. Mum is doing great. Girls are too. We couldn’t be happier.”

Alex has shared much of his family life via Today. Back in December, his family surprised him at work for his 40th birthday.

“A challenge for my darling better half getting our girls Audrey and Evie into the studio and thanks to @allisonlangdon and @ashleighcsculley for organising!” He shared at the time.

A big congratulations for Alex’s growing family – we’re sure Audrey and Evie will love playing big sisters to the newborn.
