Huge congratulations are in order for fitness guru Kayla Itsines and her man Tobi Pearce! The precious couple took to Instagram on April 29 to reveal that their first child — an adorable baby girl — was born happy and healthy! “Welcome to the world – Arna Leia Pearce⁣,” Kayla captioned a photo of a shirtless Tobi cradling their bundle of joy. What a cute name!

In her lengthy caption, Kayla revealed that Tobi was by her side the entire time, and the experience was magical for both of them. “In that second, we heard her cry for the first time, the doctors and nurses examined her quickly, bought her over to us and said ‘she is absolutely perfect’,” she recalled. “From the start, she knew exactly who we were and was instantly calm. Tobi went into ‘Dad mode’ straight away. From someone who made jokes the whole 9 months about not being able to change a diaper … to now not wanting to let ANYONE change her because he wants to help – has made me love him even MORE.”

🌸Welcome to the world – ⁣⁣ Arna Leia Pearce ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 💛 I just stared into Tobis eyes the whole time during delivery, nervously whispering “please let her be healthy, please be okay, please be okay” and Tobi kept repeating “I love you so much – she’s going to be healthy it’s okay just breathe it’s okay”. We both were crying.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ In that second, we heard her cry for the first time, the doctors and nurses examined her quickly, bought her over to us and said “she is absolutely perfect”. My doctor said “Look at that hair and those cheeks! Amazing!”⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I don’t even know how to describe how I felt in that moment. I looked over at Tobi who looked like the proudest Dad I’ve ever seen, with tears running down his face he gave me a kiss on the forehead and whispered “She’s so perfect, I love you”.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ She is perfect indeed! From the start, she knew exactly who we were and was instantly calm. Tobi went into ‘Dad mode’ straight away. From someone who made jokes the whole 9 months about not being able to change a diaper … to now not wanting to let ANYONE change her because he wants to help – has made me love him even MORE. Tobi wraps her up and cuddles her and she goes straight to sleep 💤 She’s a happy quiet bubba who LOVES her big greek family😍⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ As for me, I ended up having a cesarean, as recommended by the doctor. I was a little bit sore, but after a couple of days I was generally fine, just no lifting other than Arna. Now, I just need to rest, eat good food, drink lots of water and I’ll be okay!⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I feel so BLESSED right now. I AM blessed to have Tobi and my family be there every day. I am so thankful to have the most amazing doctor and midwives ever to help me. This experience has been amazing for me and I am proud to say that💛🌸.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣Thank you everyone for being SO amazing!! We are so in love and happy. Holding her for the first time in our arms was truly the best day of our life💕

Though Kayla didn’t reveal the exact birth date, it sounds like the little angel has been around for a while. “Tobi wraps her up and cuddles her and she goes straight to sleep 💤,” Kayla continued. “She’s a happy quiet bubba who LOVES her big Greek family😍⁣⁣.” She also revealed that she was forced to have a c-section, but she’s doing well and healing nicely.

Tobi quickly shared his own sweet message about the whole experience as well. “Recently, my world got so much brighter when this little angel entered the world,” he said alongside a photo staring into his baby’s eyes. “To be honest, I don’t think any to be mum or dad knows what to expect when entering parenthood for the first time. I expected so many great things, and an abundance of learnings, but I couldn’t be more pleasantly surprised with how great this is already. I’ve never felt so connected.”

Recently, my world got so much brighter when this little angel entered the world. Everyone, please meet Arna Leia Pearce. To be honest, I don’t think any to be mum or dad knows what to expect when entering parenthood for the first time. I expected so many great things, and an abundance of learnings, but I couldn’t be more pleasantly surprised with how great this is already. I’ve never felt so connected. For every couple that goes on the pregnancy journey together, I am sure you can all relate to just how incredible it is, but also how it is hard work and requires a lot of teamwork. Throughout that journey, almost daily I was reminded just how strong and caring Kayla is and I couldn’t be more proud, I just know she is going to be such a great mum. For the big day, her birth, everything went so well, Mum (@kayla_itsines) is doing great and recovering very well. Baby Arna is most importantly healthy, happy and so, so beautiful and peaceful. I can’t wait to go on this journey together as a family, here we go! Kayla (Cherub) and Arna (Muffin), I love you both so much.
