Sarah Abo has officially welcomed her first child with her husband Cyrus Moran!
The Today Show host, 39, revealed the exciting news on July 24 in an adorable Instagram post.
“Hi there 👋🏼 you can call me Sonny 🥰,” she gushed alongside a slideshow of black-and-white photographs with her little one.
“What a week with our little man ♥️ He came into the world a little early, but that gave us a little longer to marvel at you, our beautiful boy. We love you so infinitely, darling.”
“And to the incredible doctors and midwives who made hospital home for two weeks – thank you for taking such good care of us, you are all angels, and we are forever grateful 🙏🏼”
Sarah also briefly appeared on the Today Show on a video call to introduce her co-hosts to Sonny.
“He’s really good. He was born just in time to watch his first Pies win against the Blues… so that was a bit of a thrill,” she said on air on July 24.
“Although dad only had eyes for his bubba. And we’ve been just in our own little bubble for the week, which is such a treat.”
The update comes eight days after she revealed that she was taking her maternity leave from the Today Show earlier than planned, due to high blood pressure.
At the time, she thanked fans for their support and kind messages.
Fans have been excitedly awaiting Sarah’s new arrival since she announced she was growing her family live on air on March 11.
Holding back tears, she announced she was expecting her first child, a baby boy.
Sarah was emotional as she shared the news, admitting it hadn’t been an easy road to get here.
Sarah and Cyrus sadly lost a baby last year, and Sarah revealed that they went through “test after test” this time before even telling their families.
“It’s not as easy as you suppose sometimes think that pregnancy will be,” she admitted.
“It has been a bit of a bumpy ride, but here we are, and yes, it’s getting harder to hide.
“As much as I’d like to bury my head in the sand and not address it. We’re almost halfway now, so things are going well. And, yeah, so it’s good.”
They nicknamed their baby CJ at the time, and didn’t reveal any hints about his name.
At the time, Sarah also reflected on the emotional rollercoaster in a poignant Instagram post.
“It’s our happy news after a bit of a bumpy ride. But I am still pretty terrified!” she wrote.
“Instead, for some of us, it’s about dodging glances, dodging questions, submitting to appointment after appointment, test after test, jab after jab.”
She ended with a message for anyone going through a similar experience.
“For anyone out there going through this – I’m sending so much love… please know that you’re absolutely not alone.”
