Celebrity Big Brother couple Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt have welcomed their first child together.

The couple’s rep told US Weekly yesterday: “Heidi and Spencer are proud parents of a healthy baby boy as of this afternoon.”

New mum Heidi added: “We are so blessed to have a beautiful healthy baby boy. It was the hardest and most rewarding experience.”

Spencer, 34, said: “[It’s] officially the most lit day of my life.”

It was also reported that Gunner has blond hair and blue eyes just like his mum and weighed 6lbs 12oz.

Spencer took to Twitter shortly after welcoming his son and revealed they had used £20K-worth of crystals during the birth.

He wrote: “Shout out @crystalarium1 for dropping off $27,000 in crystals for the birth.”

It’s not known which crystals they used but it’s been said that certain types can help keep the mother calm and ease stress during the birth.

The pair, who starred in CBB back in 2013 and made a return to the series earlier this year, announced they were expecting their first child together back in April.

Former Celebrity Big Brother contestant Spencer told US Weekly at the time that he woke up in the couple’s Santa Barbara beach house, to see his wife standing over him with a look of joy on her face.

He said: “The look on her face, I can’t even describe it. She was literally glowing. I thought she was about to say she made muffins or banana bread.

“Heidi said, ‘I’m pregnant’,” he added. “I was like, ‘Whoa, that’s way more exciting than banana bread.'”

The star admitted she felt “overwhelmed” and added: “I started crying, and he [Spencer] embraced me.”

The couple recently revealed that they’ve even set Gunner up with his own social media accounts.

New dad Spencer said he wants his son to be a “social media star”.

The reality star told The Sun Online: “He’s a future reality star and a social media star!

“My son has a new iPhone 8s – I actually unwrapped it and took it out of the box for him, it’s set up already for when he’s here.

“I didn’t want him to have the iPhone X and get overwhelmed, I have the x though. So his is just an 8.”

Spencer added: “But he won’t be making his debut on Instagram or Twitter – hopefully a tabloid cover, that’s the dream.”
