Former Love Islandstar Montana Brown is officially a mum.

The 2017 Islander took to Instagram and announced that she and her rugby-player fiancé, Mark O’Connor, have welcomed a baby boy into the world.

Montana shared a picture of her son on Instagram and wrote, "Welcome to the world Jude Isaiah O’Connorwe’re so smitten with you little man23.06.23."

Love Island 2019 contestants Amy Hart and Molly Mae Hague, who both recently also became mums, showed their love to the new mother on Instagram. Amy commented on the post, "Congratulations" and Molly-Maesaid, "Oh wowcongratulations Mon ".

Could he be the first child of an Islander to enter the villa in Love Island 2041? We may as well dream big, on Love Island 2023 they're all basically teenagers anyway.

Who is Montana Brown?

Icons were made when Love Island 2017 hit our TV screens six years ago - and yes, it really has been that long. Can you believe we once had a world without Olivia Atwood and Kem Cetinay? We don't like to be reminded of such dark days, tbh.

Another Islander who won the hearts of the British public during season three was girl's girl Montana.

It was far from smooth sailing for Montana during her Love Island stint. Remember when bombshell Jess Shears came and stole Dom Lever? Although she struggled to find a strong romantic bond on the show, Montana has had major success in pretty much all areas of her life since leaving the villa.

Who is Montana Brown's fiancé?

After announcing her pregnancy in December, Montana took to Instagram in 2023 to declare that she is engaged to her rugby player beau Mark O'Connor.

Posting a black and white beach photo of Mark dropped to one knee, Montana added the caption "13.04.23" and her comments section was soon brimming with love and congratulations for the former Islander.

Molly-Mae commented, "Omg congratulations beautiful ," with TOWIE star Amber Turnerwriting, "Omg! Congrats Mon this is too cute ".

Montana went official with Mark in 2021 and it looks as though they could well be a match made in heaven. After all, she's one of the most entertaining Islanders in Love Island history and has continued to entertain with prank TikToks and brutally honest social media posts about being pregnant since leaving the villa.

Her fiancé appears to be equally as fun as a source told MailOnline that Mark is "a very wild bloke to go on a night out with, drinks a lot. Very good fun to be with."

Here's to Montana and Mark being the most fun parents a kid could ask for.

She was coupled up with Dom before bombshell Jess rocked up and stole him away. To be fair. Dom and Jess are STILL together with babies, so it was clearly meant to be.

Montana was then partnered with Marcel Somerville before moving onto Sam Gowland but failed to find romance with either of the guys.

Newbie Simon Searles caught Montana's eye but it was Casa Amor bombshell Alex Beattie who stole her heart. They coupled up on day 28 and stayed together all the way until day 50 where they were dumped, just missing out on the final.
