The adorable boy was born in Germany as Oliver is currently playing for Bundesliga club Union Berlin.
The couple confirmed the new-born's birth with an emotional video compilation of moments from Landon's first few days of his life, which included clips of Megan holding him in the hospital after her C-section.
Megan also shared her experiences of breastfeeding so far.
The pair delighted fans when they announced they were expecting a baby following a secret IVF journey. The two hadn't been able to fall pregnant naturally with the TOWIE star suffering from PCOS.
Things have moved pretty fast for the couple, with the ex-Hoops star getting down on one knee during a romantic trip to Montenegro in June 2023, just five months into their relationship.
Megan previously gushed that they had been "inseparable" from their first date.
Oliver was born in Kirkcaldy but was eligible to play for England in addition to Scotland, having been brought up south of the border from a young age. However, he opted to play for his country of birth.
The sportsman signed with Celtic in January 2019 on loan from West Bromwich Albion.
At the time, he had been capped five times by Scotland.
