Happy news: Bam Margera became a father for the first time he took to Instagram on Saturday morning to announce that his wife Nicole Boyd had given birth to their son Phoenix Wolf

He simply captioned the picture with the name of the child as he wrote: 'Phoenix Wolf.'

The name has been in the works for quite some time as Bam insisted that that they had agreed on the name long before his arrival.

He told People back in September: 'I said it and everybody liked it, so we stuck with that.'

Margera also told the weekly that the name 'just kind of followed' them around.

Proud: The reality star also shared a snap taken over the shoulder of Nicole with the baby while his father Phil could be seen in the delivery room wearing what looked to be a Santa Claus suit

Bam and Nicole married in Reykjavik, Iceland back in 2013.

The skateboarder who has appeared in seven Tony Hawk's Pro Skater games previously said that he met his wife at the Phoenix Theater in Petaluma, California during a gig by his brother Jess Margera's band CKY.

Bam certainly seems to be getting his life in order as he was very open about his struggles with alcohol addiction and bulimia in an episode of Viceland's Epicly Later'd which aired back in September.

His parents April and Phil Margera also offered insight into his bulimia during the height of his fame when he starred on Jackass and Viva La Bam in the early 2000s, saying to all started when the MTV star started partying with rock stars like HIM's Ville Valo.

'He always wanted to have this very slim, slim look and a lot of it kind of happened when he became good friends with Ville Valo,' April said.

The pro-skateboarder said Valo introduced him to day drinking - a habit that he says quickly spun out of control.

'I remember when me and Ville Valo were out in London and he woke up at noon, opened up the mini bar and cracked open a beer. That was the first time I was introduced to day drinking,' Bam said.

'I didn't start officially drinking until maybe 24 or 25. Then the rock star life and drinking spun out of control.'

Bam's mother said that while Valo was the 'loveliest man ever', he only drank and rarely ever ate.

'I think Bam started sipping on a beer or sipping on a something because he liked the way he looked,' she said.

From there, his drinking quickly morphed into bulimia.

'We would go out to dinner and then (Bam) would immediately excuse himself and go to the bathroom,' April said.

'I said, "Are you throwing up?" He says, "Yeah, yeah, sometimes I throw up and that way I'm not gonna get fat".'

Bam eventually kicked the habit and is sober today. He lives in Spain with Nicole.
