Fox Sports presenter Tara Rushton has given birth to a baby boy.
The 34-year-old revealed the happy news on her Instagram page on Sunday evening, telling her followers that she and husband, NRL star Cooper Cronk, have named their bundle of joy, Lennox Ryder Cronk.
‘Lennox Ryder Cronk, You came into the world this week, and have blown our hearts wide open. We are in awe,’ she wrote alongside a picture of cute blue baby booties emblazoned with the words ‘Baby Cronk’.

It appears that the couple’s first child came a week or so later than expected.
Earlier this year, Tara revealed that she was due to give birth to her first child during the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
‘We feel totally blessed to be having a little bubba. It’s our World Cup baby because it will be born during the World Cup,’ she gushed to BW Magazine at the time.

Last year, Cooper defected from the Melbourne Storm to the Sydney Rosters in order to be closer to Tara.
The high-profile pair tied the knot in a star-studded ceremony on Sydney’s Northern Beaches in December 2017.

The pregnant TV personality told The Daily Telegraph back in April her baby bump was expanding at an ‘exponential rate’, meaning she needed constant wardrobe fittings for work.
‘I have been growing at an exponential rate,’ Tara told the publication.
She explained she has been trying on dresses for on-air appearances but then they no longer fit a week later.

Despite the inconvenience she said her pregnancy had been ‘business as usual’ since suffering severe morning sickness until the five and a half months mark.
‘Work was a really good way of distracting myself from feeling violently nauseous, constantly,’ she said.
‘It was challenging at the start because I had morning, noon and night sickness for the first 20 weeks.’
