Last July, Callum, who starred on Love Island in 2019, revealed that he was expecting his first child with wife Jade.
The aircraft engineer from South Wales announced the news to his Instagram followers, captioning the post: "The best things in life are THREE…"
A selection of photographs showed the happy couple, posing in a beautiful coastal location, holding ultrasound scans. In the last slide of the roundup, Callum and Jade held up a positive pregnancy test, while they both pulled surprised faces to the camera.
The exciting news came a year after the couple were married in the stunning Llanerch Vineyard, in South Wales in June 2023. They married after Callum popped the question in front of a beautiful sunset, in October 2022.
Callum was first to be dumped from Love Island season five, after he failed to recouple. He was first coupled up with Amber Gill, who went on to win the series alongside Greg O'Shea, beating Tommy Fury and Molly-Mae Hague.
However, after failing to recouple on day five, Callum's Love Island journey ended early, after less than a week in the famous villa.
He previously spoke about his regrets over his time in the villa on This Morning, confessing he should have been tougher.
He said: "I was a little bit [too soft]. I told them this before I went in, I said 'I'm not that type of guy'.
"I wouldn't go in and take a girl. And any girl that Tommy [Fury] fancied, I wouldn't go anywhere near them!"
With hindsight, Callum confessed that he should have given other girls in the villa a chance, adding: "I would recouple with Amy [Hart] or Anna [Vakili] as we were very similar."
