Brooke Meredith, the ex-girlfriend of celebrity vet Dr Chris Brown, has welcomed her first child.

The model, 35, took to Instagram on Thursday to share the joyous news with followers, while announcing her baby boy's sweet name.

'Our darling Fletcher. Born 25.03.26. 3.57kg,' she wrote.

'A love like never before.'

She also shared a heartwarming carousel of images of her precious newborn. 

One sweet image showed mum and bub bonding, with Brooke giving baby Fletcher a kiss on the cheek. 

Another image showed Brooke again doting on her newborn as he was cradled in his father's arms, who Brooke has not identified publicly.

A third image showed the cherubic infant fast asleep in a bassinet with his tiny fists perched on his cute-as-a-button cheeks.

The post was met with an outpouring of well wishes and congratulations from friends and followers.

Sunrise star Sam Mac wrote: 'Perfecto. Over the moon for you! Welcome to the world Fletcher! Can’t wait to meet you.'

Lindy Klim also chimed in with: 'Oh congratulations!! How beautiful xxx,' while Block star Dani Wales added: 'Perfect boy. Congratulations xx'

Former Living Room host Baz Dubois summed up the sentiment of many with: 'So beautiful, congratulations and sending love.'         

Brooke revealed that she was expecting back in December last year. 

She shared a photo of her ultrasound image tied to a Christmas tree, and made an exciting announcement in the caption. 

'Six months of loving you. A lifetime to come. Our greatest blessing yet,' Brooke wrote, adding a love heart emoji. 

Many of Brooke's celebrity friends took to the comments to offer their well wishes.  

Brooke dated Dr Chris Brown, 48, for two years from 2020 to 2022.

The pair did not publicly announce their breakup. 

Reports of their split only became known when Chris publicly confirmed he was once again single. 

He is currently dating Brisbane-based Channel Ten publicist Lorraine Monforte, with the pair confirming their relationship in September.     

They are keeping their relationship offline for now, despite it being an open secret.

Before this, Chris dated former Ten presenter Liv Phyland for about a year.

They were photographed together but never walked a red carpet.

Prior to Liv, he was in a relationship with Channel Nine producer Kendall Bora from 2016 to 2018. 

His other exes include Bondi project manager Hannah Thomas and Home and Away actress Kassandra Clementi.
