"He's been on every Zoom, attended every meeting, every photoshoot and now, every podcast I've done since he was born," the mum-of-three shared.

"It can be tricky finding the balance between it all but this guy has made it so easy for us, he doesn't leave our side and just rolls with the chaos that is our life!"

Friends and fans fawned over the bub's unique moniker.

"Hi Bam's mum. 👋 ❤️," wrote comedian Celeste Barber.

Fellow model Rachael Finch called him an "Angel", while TV presenter Jessie Roberts gushed over, "Those moments 😍."

One fan wrote, "Beautiful baby Bam with his beautiful Mum."

The name "Bam" is still very uncommon and does not yet have an established meaning.

It is often a nickname for longer names such as Balthazar or Barnaby, through Franklin has not made it apparent whether this is the case for her child.

She shares Bam and his two older siblings – Tullulah, five, and Rocky, four – with her husband, former AFL player Lance 'Buddy' Franklin.

The couple welcomed their third child in December as they went home to the Gold Coast for Christmas.

She confirmed the news with a gallery of photos, with the last one being a black-and-white photo of the baby in her arms. "My heart feels like it could burst 🤍" she wrote in the caption.

She also shared a snap of her and Buddy bringing the baby back home from the hospital, taking a photo in the hospital lift as the dad cradled his newborn.

"Home for Christmas with the most special gift of all," she wrote as the caption.
