He’s the second baby for Cara and her boyfriend Daniel Harris, a little brother for one-year-old Penelope.

Cara made the birth announcement by posting a pic of Hunter’s little legs on Insta.

Fans rushed to congratulate the former reality babe and praise her name choice.

“LOVE the name! Congratulations,” one fan told her.

While another added: “Congratulations. And fabulous name.”

Cara announced she was expecting baby no.2 earlier this year – also on Instagram – when she shared a sweet pic of her and baby Penelope holding their tummies.

The pic, which was taken by her brother Tom, was captioned: “Oh Baby Baby #babyno2 #2under2.”

It really is a year for Cara to celebrate after Daniel was released from prison after spending 12 months behind bars for hiding £116,000 of drugs cash in their daughter’s bedroom.

He was, however, cleared of being a kingpin in a multi-million cocaine dealing gang which raked in £500,000 a week.

Cara, who tragically miscarried her first baby at five months in 2015, found out she was expecting Penelope while on holiday in Thailand that year.

She said at the time: “Daniel and I knew we wanted to get pregnant again straight away so I was overjoyed when I found out I was expecting two months later.

“I can see how something that traumatic can break up a couple. But we saw a different more caring side to each other and it brought us so much closer.”

Penelope was born in February 2016.
