‘I can’t explain how happy I am to bring this little queen into this world with a woman who I absolutely adore and love.
‘Can’t wait to be the best parents with you my darling. And to our little darling angel girl, dad can’t wait to give you your first ever cuddle see you in November,’ he concluded, before adding the hashtag #reynoldsfamily.

Josh was previously in a relationship with controversial ex-WAG Arabella del Busso, who famously faked a series of pregnancy with the former sports star.
After meeting Josh on Instagram in December 2018, del Busso, 32, enjoyed a one-night-stand with the sports star before claiming she was pregnant with twins.
She later told him she’d miscarried, before claiming she was pregnant again in March 2019, only to miscarry again.
Busso claimed to have been pregnant once again in June.
During their relationship, Josh claims she lied about her mother’s death, and claimed she had cancer to dupe him and other former boyfriends into giving her money.
He also claims he gave her more than $4,000 for funeral expenses.
It emerged her mother was in fact alive during a 60 Minutes investigation.

The disgraced former reality TV star is now in prison with a heavily tattooed Melbourne builder James Warwick, who the convicted thief says is ‘kind, supportive, loving’, waiting for her on the outside
The disgraced former reality TV star is now in prison with a heavily tattooed Melbourne builder James Warwick, who the convicted thief says is ‘kind, supportive, loving’, waiting for her on the outside.
Warwick wiped away tears earlier this year as he sat in the back of the Downing Centre District Court and watched Busso onscreen from the AVL booth at Dillwynia, where she claimed to have been threatened and humiliated.
Busso was appealing against the severity of her 20 month prison sentence, begging for a community order which would allow her to walk free from behind bars.
But NSW District Court Judge John Pickering unleashed on Busso’s barrister Jehane Ghabrial when she tried to claim ‘extracurial punishment’ or trial by media as a mitigating factor.
Josh debuted his relationship with glamorous public relations executive Ciarne back in 2022 when they shared a picture online of themselves at Disneyland in Paris
‘Being real about it, she’s pursued it. She put herself on a reality program. She put herself on national television. No-one forced her to go on SAS,’ he said.
Bulldogs star Josh has now well and truly moved on from Busso with partner Ciarne.
Josh debuted his relationship with the glamorous public relations executive back in 2022 when they shared a picture online of themselves at Disneyland in Paris.
The happy duo were wearing matching Mickey and Minnie Mouse ears, with Josh holding a smiling Ciarne in his arms.
They then stepped out for the NSW Cup grand final between the Panthers and Bulldogs that year in Parramatta, and were seen cosying up to each other.
