Dan MacPherson and Zoe Ventoura may have kept the arrival of their first child, Austin, under tight wraps but their love for their only child has been no less evident than any other parent.
As his first year of life has unfolded we’ve been treated to more and more glimpses into their son’s life.

Dan, in particular, has been sharing a lot of gorgeous pics of Austin since returning home from filming overseas recently.
And while we still haven’t seen his face – both Dan and Zoe consciously deciding to keep him away from the spotlight – his dad’s latest post is heartwarming for other reasons.

Taking to Instagram, Dan shared a stunning snap of Austin walking along the beach in the early morning, but it was his caption that really hit us in the feels.
“There’s a whole world waiting for you out there my son. That curiosity will take you on adventures that you could never imagine. Don’t ever lose it. ❤️,” he wrote.

In December, Zoe, 39, and Dan, 40, shared their split on Instagram after five years of marriage and have since been seen separately with their son on social media.
Revealing the devastating news at the time, both stars wrote: “With the greatest respect for each other, Dan and I have separated.”

They then went on to add: “Together, we will continue wholeheartedly to raise our beautiful boy Austin. He is, and will forever be, our greatest priority.
“We ask for your respect and will be making no further comment.”
