'He is so delicious!' Dawn O'Porter and Chris O'Dowd announce the arrival of baby son Valentine with typically hilarious social media post
Dawn O'Porter and Chris O'Dowd welcomed their second child to the world on July 1 - a boy named Valentine.
Taking to Twitter, the author and journalist shared a sweet snap of the tot with a caption reading: 'We had a baby boy last week. Woohoo! His nappy expenses are ridiculous, so this baby is going 'Cheep'. #DadJoke #Valentine'.
Dawn, who shares two-year-old son named Art with Chris, dropped the surprise news on one of her podcasts in January when she teased about living in 'a lot of elasticated trousers' with a new baby and a book on the way.

Sharing the post on Wednesday, Dawn shared the snap of the tiny tot sporting a babygro with the front emblazoned with an image of a duckling.
He added a caption on the image reading: 'Happy to announce I am the proud owner of this chirpy little chap. Born July 1st, his name is Valentine O'Porter, and he is so delicious. Two sons, my goodness #soinlove'.
In her initial announcement, Dawn said: 'I am starting a new novel this week. I'm about to turn 38 and I am pregnant. So I'll be investing in a lot of elasticated trousers and dusting off all my old vintage tents, not unlike a lot of people in January.'
Dawn - nee Dawn Porter - and Chris met at her 30th birthday, eight years ago and married at typically fashionable venue, London's 33 Portland Place, in 2012.

On their first meeting, she told The Belfast Telegraph two years ago: 'I just fancied him. He's just a gorgeous guy. I feel absolutely adored by him.'
They welcomed a little boy named Art in January 2015, but Dawn says that being a working mum has given her the motivation to achieve more than ever.
She continued: 'Being a working mum is really hard. This year I've had enormous support from Chris, and I've managed to do all the things that I've got to do, and I feel very, very lucky.
'Since I had Art I've achieved more than I ever had before, and I've also spent an awful lot of time with him. My guilt isn't 'is Art ok?', I just miss him when I'm at work.'

In her monthly column for Glamour magazine, she also said of parenting: 'I have to say, I love it. Art's given me a really lovely start. It's hard work and bloody relentless, but he's a really nice baby. I feel very lucky to have a healthy child.
'I was very emotionally ready to be a mum, so by the time he flopped out - well, didn't quite flop out - I was raring to go. He's very cute.'
Though they rarely speak publicly about their son, Chris 'introduced' the child in February 2015 with a humorous hybrid picture featuring their most distinctive features as a couple.

He wrote: 'It's a boy! @hotpatooties & I would like to introduce Art O'Porter, our gorgeous baby. Well,I'm pretty sure he's ours'.
Dawn is now due to write another boo, reminding her fans and loved ones that she'll be in a very sensitive place for here on out.
She said on Instagram: 'I am about to crawl into another writing cave. A new book, a new deadline (the third Renee and Flo), a new roller coaster.
'I'll come out for parental reasons, occasional party reasons, almost definitely my birthday reasons and possibly occasional breakdown reasons.
'Other than that, the people who know me, know the drill... BACK OFF OR I'LL CRY AT YOU.'
Throwback: The couple met at her 30th birthday party (here in June 2008) and married in 2012
