Dianne Buswell cradled her newborn son Bowden in a series of adorable photos on Friday as she gave her fans a glimpse into 'mum life.'

The Strictly Come Dancing star, 36, welcomed her baby boy named Bowden with her partner Joe Sugg, 34, earlier this month, and has been documenting their early days adjusting to being parents on social media.

In her latest Instagram update, Dianne posed for a photo in the mirror with her son snuggled into her chest. 

She later enjoyed a day out at a cafe in Brighton, while Bowden napped in his pram beside her. 

Posing for another snap, Dianne and Joe went for a walk with their son in the park as they made the most of the sunny weather over the long weekend. 

Dianne has previously shared she'd endured a 'very long day' while in labour with her son Bowden, hinting on social media that 'a lot happened' while giving birth to her baby boy.

Her post comes after she confirmed the pronunciation of her newborn son's unusual name on Instagram.

The couple – who met on Strictly in 2018 – shared that her baby boy was named Bowden, with his middle names a nod to both her beloved father, Mark, and Joe's late grandfather, Richard, who died in 2021.

Taking to her social media hours after announcing the birth, Dianne revealed how to pronounce it as she shared a sweet photo holding the newborn's tiny hand.

She wrote: 'Bowden Sugg. (Pronounced Bow like How, not Bow like Row... hopefully that makes sense)'.

To announce the new arrival, Dianne's post included a snap of her adorable son in her arms, along with the moment she and Joe brought their baby boy home from the hospital. 

She captioned the post: 'Never felt a love like it. Baby Bowden Mark Richard Sugg. 16/03/26.'

Dianne shared her joyful pregnancy news on Instagram back in September, ahead of the latest series of Strictly Come Dancing. 

In a video, set to Elton John's Tiny Dancer, Dianne and Joe set up an easel and pretended to paint a picture together.

They then picked up the canvas to display it to the camera, revealing a drawing of two stickmen – one with Dianne's signature flaming red hair – holding hands with a baby.

The couple added that their first child was due in 2026 and revealed they were expecting a son.

Joe captioned the clip: 'Our little baby boy ❤️ we cannot wait to meet you.'

Dianne hinted that the birth was imminent in February in a sweet update.

She created a video montage of her and Joe's belongings and then added miniature versions.

Dianne said 'now we wait' after showing she was ready for the birth with tiny clothes, shoes and even a Strictly-themed onesie ready for the baby.

She captioned the Instagram post: 'When 2 will soon become 3, the last one!'
