The funnyman – who is best known for his television show Jack Whitehall: Travels with My Father – seemed besotted with his new daughter. Taking to Instagram on Wednesday evening, the proud dad shared a photo of himself cradling his 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 girl.
He also shared a snap of himself beaming whilst he sat with 32-year-old model Roxy whilst she cradled her daughter in the hospital bed.
Jack even managed to co-ordinate the colour of his jumper with the bedsheets Roxy was wrapped up in.
Sharing the snaps with his fans, Jack shared a touching message about his daughter.

He wrote: “Well this just happened! Utterly overwhelming and joyous in ways I couldn’t have even imagined. In awe of my partner @roxyhorner who has been amazing throughout this journey and is going to be the greatest mum ever.
He continued: “So excited to have started a family of my own. Having vowed I’d never be that guy I am now 100% going to be the parent that shows everyone endless pictures of their kid. I also wore skechers to hospital, I think I must accept I am a full blown dad now.”
Whilst the doting couple have not yet released the name of their daughter, Jack teased that he may name his girl after Arsenal footballer Declan Rice who scored for the team in a match against Manchester United on Sunday. Jack wrote: “Name wise after this weekend I think ‘rice, rice, 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦’ has a nice ring to it.”
Jack’s Instagram post was met with a wave of support from fans with many rushing to share warm wishes with the star. One fan wrote in the comments section of his post: “Congratulations to you both” while another declared: “Awww amazing! Huge congratulations.”
Others suggested the new arrival could provide Jack with a lifetime of material, with one commenting: “Can’t wait for all the embarrassing things you’ll be saying in stand-up in the years to come.”
The photos shared by Jack come just hours following the news that he and Roxy had become parents.
Photographers captured the pair leaving a private hospital in London on Tuesday evening with their daughter being carried in a car seat.
When asked by host Steph McGovern if she was nervous, the model mused: “Weirdly no, maybe I should be? I am just very excited. I have always wanted a 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 and a family so it’s always been on the cards.”
