The baby boy was able to be born thanks to surrogate - and Toni’s close friend - Sophie Braggins who offered to carry the child as it was unsafe for Toni to have another baby because of her autoimmune disease Churg-Strauss.

 Sophie also shared a heartwarming photo after giving birth of her with her childhood friend Toni holding the newborn.

"The happiness is real," she wrote along with the precious snap on Instagram.

This is the third child and first boy for Toni and her husband Matt - who also have daughters Juliette, 5, and Mackenzie, 3 – and while he was born via surrogate he is their biological son.
