Worth the wait: The first public pic of Michelle Bridges’ son Axel.

The first pictures of Michelle Bridges’ baby have finally been released – and yes, he’s a cutie.

Axel Bridges Willis was born on December 19 and now, more than a month after his arrival, his photos have been shared publicly for the first time.

New mum and fitness guru Bridges has introduced her little man on the front cover of February's Women's Weekly.

In the accompanying interview, Bridges gushed about motherhood, describing it as “the best thing I’ve ever done”.

“I’ve got this mother instinct that people always talk about...It’s quite fierce and protective,” the 45-year-old said.

In the interview, Bridges also discusses a frightening medical drama she endured just days after giving birth as well as life with a blended family.

Axel is Bridges first child, while her partner Steve “Commando” Willis has three children from previous relationships.

Congratulations Michelle and Steve - we can't wait to see many more photos.
