Aussie actors Daniel Macpherson and Zoe Ventoura shocked fans last week when the couple revealed they had welcomed their first child together almost six months ago, without anybody noticing at all.

The famously private pair chose to keep their happy news under wraps, but the cat was let out of the bag, so to speak, when photos of the acting duo spending time with their new son at home in Sydney emerged online.

And just yesterday, the couple officially confirmed the news, revealing the lovely name the former Home and Away and Neighbours stars chose.

โ€œI am very happy to confirm that Zoรซ and Dan welcomed a baby boy in December last year,โ€ a spokesperson for the couple told The Herald Sun.

โ€œAustin Xavier arrived healthy and smiling. Mum, Dad and baby are all happy and well.โ€

And now Daniel, 40, has given fans a rare insight into his personal life, in a hilariously relatable tweet about fatherhood that has struck a chord with his followers.

โ€œ5 months in and Iโ€™ve learnt that 90% of fatherhood is yelling ;which bag is it in?โ€™ from the other room,โ€ he joked.

Many of Danielโ€™s followers replied to his tweet with some tongue-in-cheek suggestions, warning him about what lies ahead for the new father.

โ€œThatโ€™s nothing Dan. Wait until your in the car and down the street and get asked do you pack the nappy bags or a change of clothes. Thatโ€™s when you know your in trouble with the boss!โ€ one fan replied.

Another wrote: โ€œLolโ€ฆ You have much to learnโ€ฆ Just wait for.. โ€˜What did you put in your mouth?'โ€

And this fan had some wise words of wisdom too: โ€œNow is probably a good time to let you know the back seat of your car will never look the same again. One day in 8yrs time youโ€™ll find Tiny Teddy biscuits that need a shave.โ€

Dan is now back living in Australia after spending time time in LA for work.
