Lauren Brant and Barry Hall kept baby number four's arrival secret for a over week
Barry Hall and Lauren Brant have welcomed their fourth child together, announcing his arrival and unique four-letter name on Instagram.
"Our son was born 20.7.24 at 8.33pm into our loving arms at home," the couple wrote on social media on Sunday, over a week after their bub was born.
"It was magic. We are all in the most beautiful bubble of love and are being held and supported by our incredible community."

They also teased that they plan to share more details about their son's birth in the coming days, adding, "We look forward to sharing our home-birthing story with you."
But the most important detail was - of course - the name: Clay.
With British roots, the name Clay evokes a sense of earthiness and stability., and it's quite a unique moniker here in Australia.
The name Clay didn't feature on McCrindle's list of the top 100 most popular boy's baby names for 2024, though similar monikers like Kai and Koa did.

It's amazing that the pair managed to keep little Clay's arrival secret for so long, but that's the power of social media these days - it's all about what you don't post.
Alongside their happy announcement, new parents Hall and Brant shared a collection of photos of their days-old son in cute blue onesies.
They also included photos from the night the former Hi-5 star gave birth, showing her in an inflatable pool filled with red water.

One of the final photos in the couples' post shows Brant laying in bed with their three other children surrounding her, all eyes on their newborn baby brother.
The baby's umbilical cord and what appears to be the afterbirth sits in a metal bowl beside Brant.

The pair already share sons Miller, six, Houston, four, and Samson, two, together, and with the addition of baby Clay it's about to be a real boys' club in the Brant-Hall house.
The couple first met in the jungle on I'm A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! in 2015, but didn't start dating until a year later, when they reconnected and fell in love.
