Aussie Olympian welcomes baby boy

Australian Olympic snowboarder Scotty James and his partner, singer Chloe Stroll, have welcomed their first child together.

The couple shared a simple but powerful snap of the newborn, introducing their son to their fans online. 

"Leo Harry James," the caption simply reads, confirming their son's name.

Thousands were quick to react to the couple's happy news, with plenty of friends, family and fans sharing their well wishes.

"Congratulations you two," wrote James' fellow Olympic snowboarder Mark McMorris.

Australian model and businesswoman Elle Macpherson even shared her excitement by commenting three red heart emojis.

The couple announced they were expecting their first baby back in June, sharing a photo of Chloe's growing baby bump, and in August shared a video of their gender reveal celebrations, confirming they were welcoming a baby boy. 

James recently opened up on the excitement of becoming a father, telling 9honey Celebrity that while it would be a little daunting becoming a first-time parent, he was more than ready.

"I am very excited. I hope I'm going to be a fun dad," James, who is a four-time Olympian, said.

He later added that "[parenting is] unknown and not something I'm familiar with, it's going to be a new challenge to embrace, I'm looking forward to it and it's going to be fun."
