Maura Higgins' Love Island ex-flame Tom Walker becomes first-time dad
Love Island 2019 star Tom Walker and his wife Chloe Rayner have become parents for the first time.
Love Island's Tom Walker has become a dad for the first time.
The 35-year-old personal trainer and his wife Chloe welcomed baby girl Eva into the world on March 6.
Tom and Chloe shared multiple cute shots of the newborn, as well as a video of him rocking Eva to sleep and Chloe cradling their daughter to Instagram on Monday (16.03.26) with the caption: "Eva Olive Walker. March 6th 2026."
Tom's Love Island 2019 co-stars Joseph Garratt, 29, and Yewande Biala, 30, congratulated him and Chloe in the post's section.
And it sparked Tom's fans to also shower the couple with well-wishes.
One user penned: "She’s precious, congratulations to you both. Hope you are doing well Chloe."
A second person typed: "She is so adorable!! So so happy for you guys and can’t wait to meet her. Welcome to the World little one! (sic)"
And a third supporter wrote: "Such a beautiful little nugget!!! Congratulations!!! (sic)"
In October 2025, Tom and Chloe - who dated before he did Love Island in 2019 - announced that they were set to become parents for the first time with an adorable Instagram post.
The couple shared a photo of Chloe's silhouette showing off the blossoming baby bump as she posed on the beach in Santa Monica at sunset, as well as a selfie of her and Tom smiling on the sand.
They captioned it: "Baby walker loading (sic)."
Tom and Maura Higgins, 35, struck up a brief romance in the Love Island villa in 2019, but she called off their relationship on their way to the hideaway, which left him shocked.
Two years after model Tom was dumped from the ITV2 matchmaking show's Mallorca, Spain-based retreat, he rekindled his romance with Chloe.
And the couple said "I do" during a romantic winter wedding in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, in January 2021.
Tom shared a series of shots from their big day on Instagram with the caption: "So... We got married.
"After a couple of crazy years we decided to start the year off with a bit of positivity. Last weekend, 2.1.21 we tied the knot COVID style. We’ve been a long distance couple, on and off for almost 10 years now!
"Life experiences, all the challenges of the past few years and then plenty of thinking time, has made me realise that there is only one person I’d like to spend the rest of my life with.
"So we made the decision not to waste anymore time and commit to spending rest of our lives together.
"Thanks Little One for saying yes and becoming my Wife, I can’t believe how lucky I am to have found you! When you know, you know and I know. (sic)"
