The new mum announced the happy news alongside a cute photo of the newborn.
Lucy captioned the post: “Roman Ravello Thomas,” alongside a blue heart emoji.
But what does the newborn’s name mean?
Well, according to Name Berry, the name Roman is of Latin origin meaning “citizen of Rome”.
The website says it’s “definitely a romantic name”.

The tot’s middle name Ravello is also of Latin origin and is actually an Italian town near where Lucy and Ryan were staying during a trip to the country.
It’s also near the Amalfi Cost, where the couple got engaged.
Ryan and Lucy got engaged in Italy back in June last year.
Alongside a backdrop of an evening meal against Italy’s stunning Positano shoreline, Lucy and Ryan were seen embracing each other as she showed off her ring.
She wrote at the time: “I said YES.”

Best birthday present I’ve ever had.
Meanwhile, during a babymoon in the Algarve in September, Ryan shared a photo of himself cradling Lucy’s bump as she posed in a blue swimsuit.
