Justin Lacko’s ex Anita Barone-Scott shares photos of their newborn

Love Island Australia star Justin Lacko and his ex-girlfriend Anita Barone-Scott welcomed a son together earlier this month. 

And on Thursday, Perth-based model Anita shared two sweet photos of the newborn with her Instagram followers.

In the pictures, the new mother cradled the bundle of joy in her arms.

Anita styled her blonde hair up for first photo, and showcased her stunning features by going makeup free. A second picture showed her looking tired.

‘Instagram vs reality,’ she captioned the post, adding the hashtags #motherhood, #newborn, #newmum, #realitycheck and #postpartum. 

The adorable baby was snuggled up to his mother’s chest in the images. 

Justin announced the child’s birth on May 16, sharing a photo to Instagram of the infant wrapped in a cosy grey blanket. 

‘Welcome to the world, Leo Jace Barone-Lacko! Born 11 May 2020,’ the reality star wrote in the caption.

He added: ‘How I will treasure you forever. My love for you is unconditional.’ 

Justin had announced Anita’s pregnancy on Instagram back in November.

He told his 125,000 followers: ‘LIFE! I can’t believe this is happening but it’s the best news to hear and I am very excited to share with you all that I’m going to be a daddy.

‘Here’s to celebrating my last year of my twenties and becoming a daddy in 2020.’  

He later explained on The Kyle and Jackie O Show that he and Anita had broken up after dating on and off for five years.

‘You know you can’t force something that’s not really meant to be there,’ he said of the demise of their romantic relationship.

‘I have all the support in the world, and she’s beautiful, and I adore her. But I just think that this situation where it is now is probably the right thing for both of us.’
