Love Island’s Marcel Somerville reveals his baby son Roman is home with sweet snap

He announced he’d welcomed his first child on Sunday, a little boy called Roman. 

And Marcel Somerville, who shares his son with fiancée Rebecca Vieira, has now revealed that the tot is out of hospital and at home with his family.

The Love Island star, 35, shared a sweet snap of himself carrying the newborn’s car seat as he posted the happy update to Instagram on Wednesday.

In the image, Marcel could be seen with his back to the camera while rocking a comfortable ensemble and face mask.

Little Roman was all wrapped up in his car set with a blue and white blanket covering him for the journey. 

Marcel penned: ‘Finally Little Man & His Mama Are Home. I’m so happy to be able to hold him again. My Handsome Baby Boy ♥️’

The Blazin’ Squad star later shared some more snaps to Instagram Stories showing the family had an impressive balloon set-up to welcome their son home.

While another image showed new mum Rebecca looking radiant as she cradled her son after settling in at home.

The couple announced their son’s arrival on Sunday and later revealed that his name was Roman with a sweet photo of the baby holding onto Marcel’s finger. 

Marcel wrote: ‘Roman Somerville Born 30/01/21 @ 23:37 My Heart!!! Pregnancy is a journey and this past 9 and a bit months have been totally worth it! 

‘He’s literally the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen… Soooo Handsome. I can’t wait for you all to meet him.

‘@RebeccaVieirax is literally my idol she has spent the last 2 days in labour and I don’t know where she got the strength from as I’m running on fumes but she did it and I could not be prouder of my future wife. I adore you mama! 

‘Absolutely adore every single ounce of you! ♥️ your my Wonder Woman! We did it mama and he’s everything we could have wished for. 

‘Thank you for carrying him and bringing him into the world! Im so emotional right now but this has blown my mind. This Little Boy Is Everything.’ 

New mother Rebecca also shared a similar photo of Roman and told how she had been in labour for two days.

She wrote: ‘Roman Somerville 30.01.21 – 23:27pm – I literally cannot believe how beautiful my son is I can’t stop staring at him.

‘The love you feel is out of this world, i was in labour for 2 days and it was the most painful experience but so worth it I couldn’t believe my eyes when he was put on my chest.. can’t wait to share and show you my birth experience, @marcel_rockyb was amazing throughout although sometimes he looked so scared.. Roman I needed you.’ 

Rebecca took to Instagram in the early hours of Sunday morning to share the happy news, as she shared a sweet breastfeeding clip of their new bundle of joy. 

Meanwhile, the new dad took to his own Instagram stories to share a clip of his baby boy and wife-to-be, simply writing: ‘My life’. 

On Friday, Rebecca revealed that her waters had broken, just days after she had told how she’d been ‘in the early stages of labour’, after reaching her due date.

Earlier in the day, she filmed herself in the car as the couple drove home from the hospital following a ‘successful sweep’ – which involves a midwife or doctor sweeping their finger around the cervix during an internal examination to attempt to separate the membranes of the amniotic sac surrounding baby to bring on labour. 

In the days leading up to the baby’s arrival, Marcel and Rebecca took to Instagram to share the methods they were using to induce labour, including ‘curb walking’ – with one foot on the curb and the other on the road.

After a trip to see the midwife, Rebecca told her Instagram followers: ‘[The midwives] measure in fifths, so the baby is four-fifths down – and when he gets to five fifths, I go into labour. So I’m very excited!
