Swash announced the birth with a touching Instagram tribute on Thursday evening in which he described Solomon as a “super human” who has left him “forever in awe”.

Alongside a picture of a tired Solomon cradling their son, he wrote: “This morning. A lot earlier than planned I watched the love of my life, bring a new life into the world. We are overwhelmed, overjoyed and apprehensive of what’s to come. Mummy and baby are well and resting. We are so grateful for all of the love, support and positivity we’ve received over the last 8 months.”

He continued: “I’m lost for words to describe how I’m feeling. So for now, I’m going to spend the next few days and the rest of my life falling more in love with these two humans. I didn’t think it possible but, today I witnessed the impossible. My partner, My love, my life, you are a super human. I am forever in awe. Joe X.”

Swash, who has been dating Solomon for nearly three years, later left fans in tears after he shared a black and white snap of his son squeezing his thumb.

The former EastEnders star recently revealed he “didn’t have a choice” in what his newborn will be called because one of Solomon’s sons has already picked the moniker.

“There is no point in fighting it,” he told The Sun. “Don't stress and you'll make yourself a lot happier. I do like the name. One of her kids chose it. I can't say more. If I give away what we are having I will have to sleep at my mums.”
