The couple both shared a simple clip that revealed they were now proud parents to a baby boy.
'Baby Staples and Anna are happy and healthy,' the simple post read.
'We adore our little man. He is our everything.'
The couple stopped short of announcing their precious newborn's name or sharing photos of the little one.
It comes after Anna shared a cute clip on Thursday, revealing that her son would be delivered by C-section.
The video showed Anna and Michael beaming broadly and hugging close as the blonde beauty showed off her baby bump in a black sports bra.
She then held her hand up to the camera and the scene then cut to the pair wearing hospital scrubs.
Text on the clip revealed that their son arrived on the same day.
'We are meeting our son in 30 minutes,' the caption read. 'Who is he going to look like?'
The post was met with a flurry of anticipation from friends and followers with Tammy Hembrow chiming in with: 'Ah how exciting.'
Another follower offered: 'This makes me so emotional! Such a surreal feeling. Happy baby day.'
A third summed up the sentiment of many with: 'Good luck guys, so excited for you. Watched your pregnancy journey from the beginning, so excited to meet the little guy.'
Anna revealed in November last year that she and Michael were expecting.
Clips saw the happy couple looking loved up as Anna flaunted her growing baby bump.
The footage began with what appeared to be throwback footage of Anna and Michael as children, before it cut to Anna and Michael sitting in their car.
'The baby is ten weeks old and 3cms tall,' the podcast host said with a bright smile.
Other clips in the montage also featured sneak peeks of the lovebirds attending doctor's appointments, including an ultrasound.
In March, Anna revealed revealed the details of a shock health scare that sent her to hospital.
Anna shared a video to Instagram while lying in a bed at Cairns Hospital and wrote: 'Our little guy was being a rebel and stopped moving in the last 48 hours.
'The midwife told us to go to Cairns Hospital for some monitoring. After an hour of monitoring they were happy with what they saw,' she continued.
'When we left, they said "I think you have a cheeky boy". We weren't surprised.
'Ironically, he started kicking and partying when we got back to Palm Cove. Officially in the third trimester!!'
Anna and Michael were married at a glamorous ceremony in Greece in 2023.
The couple opted to hold their ceremony in May at the upmarket Courti Estate, described as a 'Luxury Corfu Villa' with nine bedrooms for guests.
The couple were pelted with petals after they said 'I do' as the bride carried a white rose bouquet.
'Our wedding day at The Courti Estate was magical,' Anna told the Herald Sun at the time.

First Love Island bombshell is 'sexy Vegas pool party waitress'
Love Island host Maya Jama teased the first bombshell to descend on the villa, hopefully causing lots of drama for fans of the show - and for the first time ever, an American contestant joins the cast Love Island 's first bombshell has been revealed as a stunning Las Vegas pool party waitress. Antonia Laites looks after the VIP cabana huts at the swanky Fontainebleau Resort in the gambling mecca. The brunette is the first American bombshell to take part in the reality dating show, which kicks off on ITV2 on Monday (June 9). She will join the other islanders as a bombshell - a role usually reserved for the best-looking contestants. Antonia has also worked in Miami as a pool server, while attending Florida Atlantic University to study Public Management. She moved to Vegas and has worked in Sin City since February last year, according to her LinkedIn profile. The hospitality professional went into the villa on day one, meaning she's likely to have been ruffling feathers since the get-go. Maya Jama teased Antonia's appearance on the show with a voice note she played, which was posted on the official Love Island Instagram. The video was captioned: "A voice note from the first Bombshell? I'm listening." Maya could be heard at the start of the clip dropping one of the show's signature lines: "Oh, I've got a text! I've been expecting this one." The TV personality heard an American voice say: "Hey Maya, I heard you want more twists. How about an American bombshell? Get ready, I'm on my way." Although the voice note didn't give the name of the sender, it did confirm that Love Island UK will be welcoming their first ever US islander. Maya ended the teaser, adding: "Alright, there's the sweet, sweet sounds of an American." Creative director of Love Island, ITV's Mike Spencer-Hayter, previously revealed how the Love Island bombshells are usually cast. He told The Sun: "Do you know what I always say, the cast get released and then the ex's come forward. And that's how you get the bombshells. "They will have to go through the process, but we have already a pool of really really good bombshells lined up. There's some people in that mix that are really under the radar as well. "The casting team have been working for quite a while now. Gone to lots of different events and been out and about looking for people and I think they've done a brilliant job. We always have those killer bombshells to come in." Meanwhile, the rest of the Love Island cast has been confirmed, with the usual array of models, personal trainers and actors, all looking for love (and brand deals). Maya returns as host for the twelfth season, with more drama than ever promised by producers. Director Mike confirmed that viewers can expect a big surprise in week one. With fans' speculating about what's in store, he said it's not going to be another reality star or celeb, like Joey Essex. The ITV boss gave more clues, confirming "no former Love Islanders are coming in this year". While fans are kept guessing, he promises to "keep it exciting", adding that producers are set to "tear up the rule book a bit."

'Best looking Premier League player' stunned Laura Woods when he said she'd be his dream date
'Best looking Premier League player' stunned Laura Woods when he said she'd be his dream date Laura Woods has done many things throughout her career in sports broadcasting, but fans always enjoyed her segments where she discussed the dream dates of several sports stars One of Laura Woods' go-to questions on the radio was to ask sports stars who their dream date would be (Image: Photo by James Gill - Danehouse/Getty Images ) Before Laura Woods got engaged to ex-Love Island star Adam Collard, former Chelsea and Premier League midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek said he would like to go on a date with her. With a strong following on social media, Woods has captured the hearts of many fans and sports personalities throughout her career. While she has established herself as a top television presenter, many of her admirers will always refer to her classic segments on talkSPORT, where she and Ally McCoist enjoyed asking their interview subjects who they would like to take on a first date. In an interview with Loftus-Cheek, who now plays for AC Milan, the ex-England international took her by surprise when he chose Woods herself. Considering her comments in the months after that interview, Loftus-Cheek may have felt like he should have made a serious offer. In another interview, she was reminded about that particular moment, which amused many football fans. Woods went on to describe him as one of the most handsome players in the Premier League. In an interview with the Staying Relevant podcast in 2023, she said: "On talkSPORT, we love anything like that if it's a great opportunity to talk about sex. Someone had asked Anthony Joshua who his dream date was and he said Beyonce. "So we all did our dream dates and tried to get a date off the back of it. I said [actor] Leo Suter, he is amazing. Ally [McCoist] said Claudia Schiffer. After that I had to do an interview with Ruben Loftus-Cheek and asked him the same thing and he said me. Article continues below "I was like, 'Good god.' Ruben is probably the best looking player in the Premier League. I didn't mind that at all! That is the quote for my wall. It is excellent to have an association with someone who looks like he has been carved by Jesus." Loftus-Cheek made his thoughts perfectly clear on Woods (Image: Photo by Image) Loftus-Cheek wasn't the last British athlete to pick her on the segment. Former heavyweight boxing champion of the world Anthony Joshua also followed Loftus-Cheek's lead when he was asked to choose somebody to go for a date with. He told the presenter: "You. I know Loftus-Cheek has beaten me to it," to which Woods responded: "It's fine, there's no competition!" Woods and Collard's relationship has accelerated ever since they confirmed they were dating in October 2023. Just under 12 months after they announced they were an item, Collard got down on one knee at a beach in Cornwall and asked Woods to marry him. Woods opened up about the difficulty she had working at Euro 2024 while pregnant (Image: 2024 Simon Stacpoole/Offside ) Woods would go on to announce that she had given birth to their son, Leo Ernie Collard, in January 2025. In August 2024, before she went into labour, she spoke to The Times and revealed that she was battling morning sickness while she was working at the 2024 European Championships. She said: "It was constant, the morning sickness was quite difficult to battle and I was exhausted all the time. At least there were rest days when I was able to just chill out in my [hotel] room. Article continues below "I would have liked to keep it quiet for a little bit longer but I really felt like I couldn't any more and now I've done it it's a relief."
