Channel Seven's beloved Sunrise presenter, James Tobin, has shared the joyous news that he and his wife, Farrah, have welcomed their first child, a baby girl named Tilda Tobin.
A Joyful Announcement
The 45-year-old television star announced the milestone with a touching and intimate post on his Instagram, which was quickly flooded with warm wishes from colleagues and friends. The couple shared a series of personal photographs from the hospital, offering fans a precious first glimpse of their newborn daughter.
In one tender image, newborn Tilda is pictured sleeping soundly in a hospital bassinet. Dressed in a miniature white baby tee, she lies 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 as she rests on fresh linen.
Intimate Family Moments
Another powerful photo captures a classic skin-to-skin moment between father and daughter. James Tobin beams with happiness, lying shirtless in the hospital bed while baby Tilda, wrapped in a pastel-striped hospital blanket, rests her cheek against his chest. The image shows the proud new dad looking completely smitten as he cradles his little girl.
A third snapshot shows mother Farrah holding Tilda close, resting a protective hand gently 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 heartfelt gallery of images, "Our little girl, Tilda Tobin," accompanied by a red heart emoji.
Celebrity Congratulations Pour In
The announcement prompted an immediate and delighted response from the couple's circle in the television industry. Fellow Sunrise host Natalie Barr wrote, "Congratulations you two. She's absolutely beautiful."
Jess Rowe added, "Oh congratulations to you all. Welcome to the world darling Tilda," while Kylie Gillies commented, "Best news update ever. So happy for your little fam."
This birth marks a significant and happy chapter for James and Farrah, who had announced they were expecting their first child earlier this year with a sweet selfie and an ultrasound photo. It also caps off a whirlwind period for the pair, who tied the knot in October 2024 at a charming countryside ceremony held at the Junee Licorice and Chocolate Factory.
Having begun dating in 2021, the couple has historically been selective about what they share publicly. James has previously acknowledged the value of privacy, 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, the family of three begins its newest and most exciting chapter yet, settling in at home with baby Tilda and embracing life as first-time parents.
