New dad-of-two Olly Murs<\/a> was ever the proud father on Friday, when he shared an adorable photograph of his newborn son Albert<\/a>, just moments after his arrival, in the hospital. Along with the sweet photo, which was shared on his official Instagram account, the Dance With Me Tonight hitmaker, 41<\/a>, clarified the meaning behind his newborn son’s name, which, he revealed, was after a special family member.<\/p>\n

“A few people been asking why we chose the name Albert\u2026 it’s after my great-grandad Edward ‘Albert’ Murs. Me & Amelia loved the name after I was on BBC\u2019s Who Do You Think You Are? and now our little man gets to carry that bit of family history into the future\u2026 love you son,” the heartfelt caption read.<\/p>\n

Hope Amelia is doing well,” alongside a red love heart emoji. A third penned: “What a beautiful tribute to your great grandad.”<\/p>\n

Olly first shared news of little Albert’s arrival on 4 September,\u00a0<\/a>marking the incredible milestone with a photo leaving the hospital alongside his wife Amelia, and their one-year-old daughter Madison in his arms.

Welcome to the world, our little Albert.” Just hours later, Olly shared the precious moment his little girl met her baby brother<\/a>: “When Madi met Albie,” he wrote, sharing a photo of Amelia breastfeeding Albert.<\/p>\n
