Celebrity photographer Terry Richardson and his girlfriend Alexandra Bolotow have welcomed twin boys named Rex and Roman.

The 50-year-old first-time father shared a photo of the twins nestled in Bolotow’s arms. He wrote: “So blessed and grateful for this sweet family.  Welcome to the world Rex + Roman. March 19th, 2016 6:23pm and 6:35pm, 6lbs 1 oz. and 6lbs 10oz.”

The photographer, known affectionately to his clients as Uncle Terry, announced that he and Bolotow were expecting in October.  He kept fans up-to-date with photos of Bolotow as she progressed throughout her pregnancy.

Shortly after the arrival of their twins, Richardson paid homage to the doctors who assisted with the birth in an Instagram post. Sharing a photo of the twins with the doctors, he wrote: “It’s National Doctors Day and what better opportunity to say how obsessed I am with these two, Dr Worth and Dr Mussalli…two of the kindest, funniest, most attentive, and compassionate doctors. Thank you so much for the incredible care and for bringing these boys safely into the world.”
