On Wednesday, June announced the arrival of the couple’s first child on Instagram with a series of photographs taken by Zak's younger sister Zelda.

“Introducing you to my little family!” the businesswoman captioned the images.

“My fiancé, Zak, and I were so happy to welcome baby McLaurin to the world on May 22nd.

“We are beyond thrilled he chose us to be his parents, and obviously think he’s the best, smartest, and cutest baby ever!!”

Zelda also shared the images to her Instagram accounting, writing: “News is finally out: I’m an auntie!

“Meet Mclaurin Clement Williams, aka Mickey, aka Dr. Baby! He’s a squishably cute pterodactyl cooing tiny wonder and I love him so much already.”

The news comes almost five years after comedian Williams died at the age of 63.

The Jumanji star was found dead in the bedroom of his home in Tiburon, California, on Sunday 10 August 2014.

At the time, William’s wife Susan Schneider said in a statement: “I lost my husband and my best friend, while the world lost one of its most beloved artists and beautiful human beings. I am utterly heartbroken.”
