Alongside a snap of the newborn baby, he wrote: “Honored To announce my beautiful first born son.
“Praise the lord. I am so thankful, I love him so much already. He is so fast already haha. Took him just 8 min to arrive.
“You know where he got that speed from lol. God did! And God will.
“Henry Leo Garcia. He will be ten times stronger, ten times wise, ten times better looking but he will need to work ten times harder. Thank you lord I love you.”
However, shortly afterwards, he uploaded a statement confirming his and Andrea’s divorce.
The pair tied the knot in 2021 and have two other children together.
In his statement, Garcia told his fans: “As I step into a new chapter in my life, it’s with a heavy heart to share that Drea and I have decided to divorce.

King Ry has amassed a 24-1 record with 20 knockouts since making his professional debut aged 17.
He has since become one of the sports biggest stars and moved up to a 136lbs catchweight for a super fight with Gervonta Davis last April.
The seventh round KO loss is the sole defeat on his record to date.
Garcia bounced back by knocking out Oscar Duarte Jurado in Houston in December.
The 25-year-old’s next bout has yet to be confirmed as he targets a 25th pro victory.
