Kat Von D is officially a mum!

The makeup artist and her husband Leafar Reyes have welcomed their first child.

Kat shared the happy news on Instagram last night, posting a photo of father and son together.

“Meet our beautiful baby boy, Leafar Von D Reyes,” the proud new mum announced.

The baby’s name isn’t a surprise – Leafar Senior had revealed what they’d be calling him during the pregnancy.

In her post, Kat explained to her followers that she’d be taking the next few weeks off social media to focus on parenthood.

Kat and Leafar, real name Rafael Reyes, tied the knot in February this year.

She recently announced that the couple have been working on a documentary about giving birth at home without the use of pain relief.

Kat caused a stir online earlier this year when she revealed that she would not be vaccinating her child.

“If you don’t know what it’s like have people around you think you are ridiculous, try being openly vegan,” she wrote in a now-deleted post.

“Try being an openly pregnant vegan on Instagram, having a natural, drug-free home birth in water with a midwife and doula, who has the intention of raising a vegan child, without vaccinations.”

“This is my body. This is our child. And this is our pregnancy journey.”
