The former world number one shared the special news with fans on social media on Tuesday night.

The couple posted a photo of their new bundle of joy to Instagram alongside the caption “Our beautiful boy. Welcome to the world, Hayden!”.

It comes six months after the 26-year-old announced she was expecting.
