The 29-year-old announced the happy news on Instagram this morning, with Ryan tweeting a message too.
She shared an image of a quote saying: “And so the adventure begins.”
The snap was captioned: “Ryan, Blakely and I are absolutely over the moon to announce that the new addition to our little family has arrived safely and in a perfect package.”
She added that he arrived on “Tuesday 29 August 2017 at 1.34am”, and the hashtag “three becomes four”.
She hasn’t shared any pictures of her tot, nor has she revealed his name.
Fans were quick to congratulate the star with one commenting: “Ahhh brill i kept checking to see where you had gone because you had gone quiet cant wait to see the pics congrats.”
Another added: “Exciting news!!! Hope mummy & bambino are doing well.”
While a third said: “Masssive congratulations lovely lady. Over the moon for you all. Massive well done and hope you’re all well.”
New dad Ryan is equally as excited by their bundle of joy and he revealed his elation on Twitter moments after Chanelle had posted her message.
“We are so in love with our beautiful little baby boy,” he wrote. “@chanellejhayes you were incredible. What an amazing feeling, he’s just perfect!”
It’s been a hard road for Chanelle this pregnancy after she was diagnosed with hypermesis – severe morning sickness.
She appeared on This Morning back in June and told presenters Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes that she couldn’t enjoy the experience at all.
Ruth told the camera that she had put a bucket next to Chanelle, just in case she had to be sick live on air!
The poor star said: “My hypermesis has really been wiping me out. I can throw up nearly 40 times a day. I feel so sorry for my partner and my son because I’ve just been so absent from their lives.”
