MasterChef star Hayden Quinn and his model wife Jax have welcomed their first child.

The 39-year-old shared the news on Instagram on Tuesday in a joint announcement alongside a gallery of sweet snaps of their little girl.

'Rosie!! Our new best friend Rose Leigh Quinn was born on June 4th weighing a chunky 3.9kgs. We couldn’t love her more,' they captioned the post.

The heart-warming images showed Hayden cradling his newborn daughter while standing in a doorway at home, dressed in a black T-shirt, black pants and a cap.

Another photo captured Hayden and Jax leaving hospital with their baby girl, smiling as they posed for a mirror selfie in a lift while pushing Rosie in a hospital bassinet.

Jax looked radiant in an all-black outfit with her blonde hair tied back, while Hayden kept things casual in a black hoodie, shorts and a backwards cap.
