“Lucius Brunelli. He’s here, he’s perfect,” Martha wrote alongside an adorbs photo of the future baby influencer.

Michael clarified the pronunciation of the beb’s moniker, “‘LOO-SHUS’ if you’re wondering,” he added in the comments.

Of course, the internet wasted no time in showering the new parents with love, with fans, celebs and fellow MAFS alum, including Jessica Origliasso from The Veronicas and Domenica Calarco, flooding their comment section with well wishes.

“Congrats!!!” former Bachelor star Abbie Chatfield wrote, while fitness influencer Kayla Itsines gushed, “Yes hair!!! I’m gonna SQUISH. CONGRATULATIONS BOTH OF YOU!!!!”

So, what’s next for Martha and Michael? Well, we have no doubt that they’re going to be amazing parents, and we can’t wait to see all the adorable baby pics they’ll no doubt be sharing on the ‘gram in the near future.

All in all, we’re sending all our love and congratulations to Martha, Michael, and baby Lucius, and we have no doubt that they’re going to rock this parenting thing like pros.

Here’s to a lifetime of love, happiness, and plenty of cute baby pics!
