Maia Dunphy and Johnny Vegas welcome their first child together

JOHNNY Vegas has taken to Twitter to announce the birth of his baby boy Tom Laurence.

Maia revealed her news on Twitter and accompanied the tweet with an adorable photo of a baby pair of Converse next to two pairs of adult runners.

The comedian, who donned blue medical scrubs for the birth, also thanked staff at the hospital for the arrival of his child.

Johnny, who married the brunette beauty in 2011, previously credited his older son for helping him to turn his life around, as he used to go on “four-day benders” before Michael was born.

Johnny wrote: “HUGE thanks to the incredible maternity team at @KingstonHospNHS. Mother and child couldn’t have been in more dedicated, caring hands”.

Vegas already has an 11-year-old son from his previous marriage. “Will do my best to read through all your messages”.
