Former Hi-5 star Lauren Brant and AFL legend Barry Hall just welcomed their fourth child in the most miraculous way and they weren't shy about sharing it either.
The couple shared photos of the home birth, which took place in an inflatable pool of water next to their bed.
And his name is Clay.
The mother of four shared the news with a photo dump on social media.
"Clay," Lauren captioned the Instagram post.
"Our son was born 20.7.24 at 8.33 pm into our loving arms at home.
"It was magic. We are all in the most beautiful bubble of love and are being held and supported by our incredible community."

"Sharing our home-birthing story with you"
The first shot shared is Clay cooing and gurgling. Then, there are a few close-up shots of him sleeping on the bed.
It was at image five that things were NSFW. It was Lauren in the inflatable bath just after the delivery, with Clay in her arms. Then, the couple together in the bath, which seemed to also have rose petals floating in it.
Then came the last two images which seemed to be a lot for some people to witness on the public platform. The new mother is seen on the bed, cradling her newborn baby, along with her placenta placed in a bowl beside her. Barry and their other children surround her and their new arrival.
And there's more still coming.
"We look forward to sharing our home-birthing story with you."
Other images showed the couple on the bed with their fourth child while Lauren's placenta was again casually placed in between them.
Many ignored the over-share images, and the post was flooded with messages of support and congratulations.
“Omg, you finally did it!! You got a dark-haired baby! Def worth trying a 4th time for!!” radio host Emily Jade O’Keeffe said. “I love him, he’s so freaking cute! His brothers are going to be smitten. Sending you and Barry all the love and baby smells xx.”
