When the couple announced that they were expecting a baby, they shared a lovely little video montage of them finding out about the pregnancy, telling their family and friends, and learning that they were having a boy.
Connor appeared on Love Island's sixth season (the show's first ever winter series), where he was coupled up with Sophie Piper on day one.
On day 15, Connor was dumped from the villa, with Sophie following just days later.
They reunited after leaving the villa, but announced their split six months after the season concluded.
Connor isn't the only reality TV star to welcome a baby into the world recently, as former The Only Way is Essex star Shelby Tribble and Sam Mucklow announced the birth of their second child together the other day.
"We are completely in love with you," they wrote on their Instagram pages.
"Our hearts have doubled after being blessed with another beautiful boy. Our Teskey."
Love Island airs on ITV2 and streams on ITVX.
