Proud new dad Sam took to Instagram to announce his daughterโ€™s arrival on Sunday night, revealing the adorable name he and Jess chose for their little bundle of joy.

โ€œItโ€™s a girl ๐Ÿ’– Margot Grace McMillan,โ€ he announced alongside a family photo with Jess and baby Margot.

โ€œThis is a love I never even knew existed. Iโ€™m overwhelmed & still processing it all right now. My girls. Wow.โ€

โ€œ@rebeccajames_stylist was (& is) a warrior. I will never forget what she endured over the past 9 months, & particularly the past few days for our little family. Unbelievable strength. What a woman ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ There will be a separate post about that soon,โ€ Sam continued.

โ€œIn the meantime I just want to say a heartfelt thanks to @drmorris_sydneymotherandbaby (the rock star of the delivery ward) & team. Iโ€™m the happiest man on the planet right now ๐ŸŒŽ if anyone needs me, my schedule for the next little while will be, looking in awe at Bec, looking in awe at Margot, crying & repeat ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿฝโ€โ™‚๏ธ Iโ€™m a Dad! #MacDaddyโ€

The babyโ€™s arrival was no major surprise as the couple said during their public announcement of their first child on Instagram back in April, that she would be born sometime in September.

โ€œWowsers! Mini Mac coming soon & Bec just canโ€™t wipe the joy off her face,โ€ Sam captioned his post.

Meanwhile Rebecca captioned her image, โ€œWell this escalated. See you in September baby Mac.โ€

According to 7News, the couple began dating after being introduced by a mutual friend in 2020, and soon after they bought their first home together.

The TV weatherman revealed he was reluctant to know the babyโ€™s gender, but Sam said that Rebecca was the opposite.

โ€œAh look, I donโ€™t want to know Kochie, as long as babyโ€™s happy and healthy, thatโ€™s all that matters to me,โ€ Sam revealed to the breakfast showโ€™s co-host David โ€˜Kochieโ€™ Koch.

โ€œBec wants to know. Sheโ€™s โ€˜the plannerโ€™.โ€

โ€œSo I donโ€™t think Iโ€™m going to win that argument, but weโ€™ll see, weโ€™ll see.โ€

During Rebeccaโ€™s pregnancy, Sam confessed his favourite part of the experience was the check-up scans and seeing the baby move.

But now that his beautiful girlfriend has given birth to Margot, we bet Sam canโ€™t keep his eyes off her.
