Heidi and Spencer, who have been married for nine years, famously met on iconic reality show The Hills that ran from 2006 until 2010.
They eloped to Mexico in November 2008, before hosting a wedding ceremony in Pasadena, California, in April 2009.
Heidi admitted she was 'overwhelmed with joy' at being a mother in an interview with US Weekly magazine earlier this month.
She said: 'I'm feeling great. I'm so overwhelmed with joy. I find myself crying just looking at him.
'It was probably the best possible labor. I wanted to do it naturally so I didn't get an epidural.'
