Taking to Instagram, the 37-year-old former Married At First Sight contestant shared a heartwarming photo of herself in hospital cradling baby Oliver.
Sitting on her hospital bed cross-legged, she looks lovingly at her sleeping newborn in her arms with a sign in front that reads: “Welcome to the world baby cub Oliver Chase Merchant.”
And to make matters even cuter, Jules is also wearing a T-shirt with the words “Mama Lioness” emblazoned across it.
