Love Island star Zachariah Noble and his girlfriend Ava Hirons, who is daughter of This Morning star Caroline Hirons, have welcomed their first child.
Former professional basketball player Zach confirmed the arrival of their son in a sweet post on Instagram, as he also proudly revealed that their baby boy was born on his 29th birthday.
Alongside pictures of the couple cradling their son, along with a glimpse at 24 year old Ava’s labour, and a snap showing some cards, a cake and pastries to mark his birthday, Zach wrote: “In 29 years you’re definitely the best present yet. Welcome to the world little man. Birthday twins.” He added of Ava: “Proud of you mumu.”
Ava’s mum Caroline, the skincare expert on ITV’s This Morning, wrote in the comments section: “My baby and her baby *HEART EXPLODES*”, while Zach’s sister, radio presenter, Snoochie Shy, gushed: “SOOOOOO HAPPY HES FINALLY HERE LOVE YOU GUYS.”
A host of Love Islanders also sent messages of congratulations, as Tyrique Hyde said: “CONGRATS MY BRUDDA”, Samie Elishi wrote: “Aw congratulations guysss” and Chloe Burrows said: “CONGRAAAATTSSS!!!!!”
A further post shared by Zach showed him, Ava and their newborn son snuggling in bed, as he wrote: “Priceless”, followed by a blue heart emoji. Meanwhile, Ava also gushed over their new arrival on her own Instagram page, as she stroked her baby boy’s hand and wrote: “love of my life, light of my days.”
Alongside a video of her mum Caroline helping out at Ava and Zach’s home, mopping the floor and hoovering, Ava wrote: “POV: You just gave birth, your mums moved in, is taking over the house and you’ve never been more in love.”
New parents Zach and Ava had previously revealed that they were having a baby boy, after first sharing their pregnancy news in February with a shot of a baby scan, alongside sweet photos of the pair, with: “Incoming summer ’26.”
The following day, Zach returned to the social media platform and posted a photo carousel, which included pictures of him kissing Ava’s bump, and another baby scan. He captioned the post: “I’ve got you more than you’ll ever know. Can’t wait to meet you.”
Zach and Ava’s romance was confirmed in October 2025 after they were spotted on a walk in London, three months after he split from Molly Marsh, 24, whom he finished in fourth place with on Love Island in 2023.
