Love Island star Sharon Gaffka has joyfully announced the birth of her newborn baby by sharing heartwarming photos on social media. Sharon, along with her fiancé, Matthew Torbitt, revealed the news on Friday through a series of polaroid pictures taken at the hospital.

In a playful nod to England’s recent World Cup loss to Argentina, Sharon humorously captioned the post, stating, “Football may not have come home, but someone else did.” While the couple has not disclosed the baby’s name yet, they received an outpouring of congratulations from fans and fellow celebrities in the comments section.

Notable Love Island personalities like Paige Thorne, Joanna Chimonides, and Liberty Poole congratulated the couple on their new arrival. Sharon and Matthew got engaged in December 2025 during a trip to Switzerland.

The couple only made their relationship public in March of the previous year, having previously kept their personal lives private since their time on Love Island. The announcement of their baby’s arrival came shortly after sharing the news on Instagram in March of this year.

Reflecting on her unexpected pregnancy, Sharon shared her surprise and joy, saying, “When I thought I was going to be spending my 30th birthday weekend feeling unwell, this is not what I had in mind! Baby Gaffka-Torbitt is on the way!”

Sharon’s journey to motherhood comes after her stint on Love Island in 2021, where she briefly dated Hugo Hammond. Following the show, Sharon accused Hugo of inappropriate behavior, which he vehemently denied on social media.

Despite the challenges she faced, including a past miscarriage, Sharon remains resilient. She recently marked what would have been her baby’s first birthday, acknowledging the complex emotions that come with loss and grief.
