Jessica Ennis has given birth to a baby boy.

The Olympic gold medalist, who married childhood sweetheart Andy Hill in May 2013, announced her happy news via her Twitter page, writing: ‘Our beautiful baby boy Reggie Ennis-Hill was born yesterday. We couldn’t be happier.’

Along with tweet she posted a black and white photo of the newborn wearing a stripy top with a lion on the front. Cute.

Jess will obviously not be taking part in the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, which get under way next week, but she is ‘100% set on returning to full-time athletics’ and determined to ‘go for a second gold medal at the Rio Olympics in 2016.’

Congratulation, Jess!
