Their bundle of joy arrived last Tuesday at St John of God Mt Lawley Hospital in Perth.
Chloe and Lee have been together for several years after she split with her childhood sweetheart and husband, Luca Pietropiccolo, back in 2015.
The split was a surprise to many as the couple had only been married for one year after tying the knot in New York

The TV villain told Woman’s Day that on her wedding day she knew she was going to spend the rest of her life with Luca, but at the same time said she felt ‘totally alone and lost’ in the relationship.
I’ve been lonely for a very long time,’ she said.
The loneliness stemmed from the fact that Chloe lived in Perth, where son Dylan’s biological father lived, and Luca lived in Melbourne.

She explained that Luca’s interstate living situation was only meant to be for one year, but soon turned into three and he wouldn’t move back to Perth to be with his wife and stepson.
Chloe and Luca wed in an intimate ceremony at Our Lady Of Peace Church followed by a reception at the iconic Plaza Hotel.
At the time, she posted a series of photos on social media taken with friends and family at New York’s famous tourist spots, including Central Park and Rockefeller Centre – she was on top of the world.
There were absolutely no signs that there was trouble in paradise, but when the couple returned from their honeymoon in Las Vegas, Chloe said that they both went back to their respective States and essentially lead a ‘together yet single’ existence.
Funnily enough, even Chloe’s best friend, bridesmaid and MKR partner in crime, Kelly Ramsay, knew the marriage was doomed.
Even on the wedding day I had my doubts,’ she told the publication.
