Beloved Channel Seven broadcaster James Tobin has shared the joyous news that he and his wife, Farrah, have become first-time parents to a baby girl.
A Joyful Announcement
The 45-year-old Sunrise star made the heartfelt revelation on Instagram, posting a series of intimate photographs from the hospital to mark the arrival of their daughter, Tilda Tobin. The presenter's social media feed was quickly inundated with warm wishes from colleagues and friends across the television industry.
In one tender image, newborn Tilda is pictured sleeping soundly in her hospital bassinet. Dressed in a miniature white baby-grow, she rests on a soft white towel with her legs curled and her delicate fingers folded neatly across her chest. A small hospital identification band is visible on her ankle.
Precious First Moments
Another cherished photo captures an emotional skin-to-skin moment between father and daughter. James beams with happiness, lying shirtless in the hospital bed as Tilda, wrapped in a pastel-striped hospital blanket, rests her cheek against his chest. The image radiates the pure joy of the new dad, who looks completely smitten as he cradles his little girl.
A third snapshot shows mother Farrah holding Tilda close, with a protective hand gently placed on the back of her baby's head. The newborn gazes ahead with bright, curious eyes, taking in her new world. James simply captioned the collection of photos, "Our little girl, Tilda Tobin," accompanied by a red heart emoji.
Celebrity Well-Wishes and a New Chapter
The announcement prompted an immediate and delighted response from the couple's circle. Natalie Barr wrote, "Congratulations you two. She's absolutely beautiful," while Jess Rowe added, "Oh congratulations to you all. Welcome to the world darling Tilda." Kylie Gillies celebrated the news, calling it the "Best news update ever. So happy for your little fam."
This birth marks a significant milestone for James and Farrah, who had announced they were expecting their first child earlier this year with a sweet selfie and an ultrasound scan. It concludes a whirlwind period for the pair, who married in October 2024 at the Junee Licorice and Chocolate Factory in a charming countryside ceremony.
Having begun dating in 2021, the couple has consistently valued their privacy. James previously acknowledged this, stating, "A lot of my life is lived out on TV, but I have also kept some things private because, well, not everything needs to be out there." Now, they embark on their most exciting chapter yet, settling in at home with baby Tilda and embracing life as a family of three.
