Purple Wiggle John Adamo-Pearce has celebrated his first Easter with his new baby boy Henry.
The former Justice Crew member, known as the 'Hot Wiggle', welcomed his son with his wife Jessie just two weeks before Christmas.
And now the happy couple have taken to social media to share some holidays snaps featuring their four-month-old bundle of joy.
In one snap a beaming John can be seen flaunting his physique in a white single while holding son while his wife poses beside him.
Another photo shared to John's Instagram showed little Henry in a 'bunny' jumpsuit being held by his father, while Jessie attempts to be a pair of tiny sandals on his feet.
Another picture features John and Jessie with their baby enjoying a lavish meal with several loved ones.
It comes after John Pearce and Jessie Adamo welcomed their first child into the world in December.
John shared pictures of their newborn to Instagram and confirmed their son's adorable name, revealing they have called him Henry Nicholas.
He penned: 'Henry Nicholas Adamo Pearce 16.12.24. Welcome to the world our beautiful angel. We have never felt a love like this.'
John and Jessie announced they were expecting their first child back in June and have been keeping fans up to date with their pregnancy journey since.
Just weeks before welcoming their first child, the couple jetted off to Fiji for a luxury babymoon as they celebrated Jessie's final few weeks of pregnancy.
In September, John took to Instagram to share an array of stunning snaps from their pre-baby holiday as they made the most of their quality time together.
The couple spared no expense on the trip as they stayed in the luxurious Fiji Marriott Resort in Momi Bay.
The hotel boasts the Fijian mainland's only sole over-water bungalows, allowing you to plunge into pristine lagoon waters directly from private stairs.
John and Jessie started dating in 2012, just two years after his dance-pop group Justice Crew shot to fame with their Australia's Got Talent win.
They tied the knot in a private ceremony in October 2019 and they recently marked their fifth wedding anniversary.
Meanwhile, says he has learned to embrace his sex symbol status as the 'Hot Wiggle'.
'It's positive thing and I'm super flattered by it. You've just got to embrace it,' the new dad said in an interview with TMZ's Big Down Under podcast.
'My wife thinks so, so that's the main thing,' he laughed when asked if he approves of the nickname.
John, whose nicknames include 'Big Strong John', 'Hot Wiggle' and 'Daddy Wiggle' has had various roles over the years - hip hop dancer, a Ninja Warrior and since 2021 the 'Purple Wiggle'.
John had applied to be a firefighter and was also a budding Instagram influencer when he was shoulder tapped by The Wiggles.
When it was first announced John was joining the quintessentially Australian group, an ABC News host labelled him 'offensively hot' and a 'thirst trap for mums'.
He said back in the day Anthony Field, 61, who has tattoos and abs underneath his Blue Wiggle skivvy, would be more worthy of the title.
'I believe that if TikTok was around in the 90s, Anthony would have been the original Hot Wiggle,' he laughed.
'I'm just trying to be myself. I don't mind the labels. I've been accepted into the role of Purple Wiggle so thank you to all the mums, dads, aunties and uncles.'
