Taking to Instagram at the time, the new mum-of-two shared the happy news with her followers and uploaded a photo from the hospital of her two bundles of joy.

"They’re here," Jackie announced. "OMG they are so cute. My heart is full."

A month after giving birth, the reality star also shared the genders of her newborns during her baby shower, which aired on Real Housewives of Melbourne.

"Two boys!" Jackie said in a piece-to-camera. "I'm f***ing over the moon!"

The proud mum also finally revealed the names of her two sons on her podcast Shine It Up with Jackie Gillies, where she was joined by her husband Ben.

"Twin one, as he was known in the hospital, his name is Bonham David Gillies," Ben announced, before revealing the meaning behind it.

"Bonham after the last name of the drummer in Led Zeppelin," he said, before adding that they chose the middle name David in honour of his father.

"Twin two - his name is Rocco Ivan Gillies," Ben revealed of their second son and explained that Ivan is after Jackie's dad.

Jackie also shared the very first photos of her boys on Christmas Day, where she wrote: "Merry Christmas. Love from Bonham, Rocco, Jackie & Ben. We love you!"

Fans were treated to another gorgeous photo of the pair in late April, where she gushed about her "little gorgeous gum-nuts".

The post comes after Jackie recently reflected on how fast Bonham and Rocco are growing by sharing another sweet snap.

"My beautiful babies are growing up so fast! How did all the mums out there get everything done when your babies nap, where do I start!?" Jackie said.

The proud new mum has been keeping fans updated on her new chapter as a mother ever since she first announced she was expecting twins.

"I’m having TWINS!" she revealed via an Instagram post in May last year, sharing a photo of her cradling her baby bump.

"It has been a bumpy IVF journey but all worth it," she wrote.

Jackie and Ben are clearly taken with the new additions to their family, with the pair having previously spoken about how much they wanted to be parents.

“I do not want to miss out on the experience of being a mother," Jackie previously told New Idea.

She also revealed that she came to the realisation that she wanted to be a mother after her time on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! in 2018.

“I wanted to be able to give my child everything they deserve. I thought, ‘Am I going to be good enough?’ But no mother is perfect.”
