Australian actress Claire Holt announced the birth of her third child on Instagram on Friday.
The 35-year-old Vampire Diaries star and husband Andrew Joblon, who wed in 2018, smiled at their new bundle of joy in a single photo shared to the app.
In her caption, the new mom simply wrote her son’s name, Ford Joblon, inside of two white heart emojis.
The sweet image showed the entertainer lying in a hospital bed with her newborn resting on her chest.
She affectionately cradled her husband’s chin in the snapshot as he adoringly leaned over her bedside.

The couple previously welcomed two children together — son James, 4, and daughter Elle, 3.
Holt revealed her third pregnancy while cradling her blossoming baby bump in a gray Lanvin gown with a flowing train at the Cannes Film Festival this past May.
As she arrived to the premiere of Killers of the Flower Moon, the actress beamed while flaunting a pregnancy glow.
After unveiling the news with her glamorous appearance, Claire later shared a carousel on Instagram and captioned, ‘me & no 3.’
She quickly received hundreds of thousands of likes and thousands of comments from her 7.5 million Instagram followers and celebrity friends.
‘Omg Claire!!!!! YES!!!!!! Congrats,’ Nina Dobrev wrote under the post, while Ashley Greene gushed ‘congrats beauty.’
In October 2022 the entertainer admitted that the biggest surprise of motherhood is ‘that no one knows what they’re doing, and we’re all just winging it.’
‘Everyone looks like they’re got their life together on social media and everything, but at the end of the day, you know, it’s really hard and you have to admit that it’s difficult and rely on other people — you don’t have to do it on your own,’ she divulged to SheKnows.

Claire emphasized: ‘You don’t have to do it on your own. Life is a lot easier when you’re real about that and you ask for help, I think.’
In September 2020 she described giving birth to her daughter, writing online, ‘She’s here. Our sweet girl, Elle. After 27.5 hours of labor, she flew into the world and expanded our hearts. We are so grateful for our healthy baby and cannot wait for her to meet her big brother.’
Meanwhile, Claire’s husband praised his wife for being so tough during the long labor.
‘@claireholt again proved to me she is my hero and a true warrior – I love you with all my heart. Thank you so much for birthing this sweet little girl in a challenging year,’ he wrote on his Instagram page.
