The 40-year-old former Formula One driver - who also has 18-month-old son Hendrix with the model - announced the birth of their second child, Lenny Monrow.

Sharing a sweet snap of the newborn, he wrote on Instagram: "Welcome Lenny Monrow Button Mummy & Daddy are besotted already. She has the cutest little dimples like her big brother Hendrix Britt is doing amazing and recovering well (sic)."

Brittny, 30, also took to social media to gush over her daughter and shared that she looks just like her big brother.

She wrote: "Welcome to the world Lenny Monrow Button. Mummy and Daddy are completely in love. She has dimples just like her big brother."

The news comes weeks after the couple were forced to postpone their wedding for a second time due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

They first got engaged in 2018 and were due to tie the knot on July 6, 2019, but Brittny fell pregnant so they pushed their nuptials back 12 months.

It was then believed their nuptials had been rescheduled to July 10, 2020, in Lake Como, Italy, but Brittny recently announced that the ceremony will now take place in 2021.

Alongside a snap of the pair on the beach, with Brittny in a bridal-style gown, she wrote on Instagram." I cannot wait to marry this guy... finally! First an unexpected but such a blessing baby button and then corona virus 2021 I'll become Mrs. Button officially. (sic)"

The couple had been dating since March 2016 - just three months after his split from his first wife Jessica Michibata was confirmed.

Jenson and Jessica tied the knot in Hawaii in 2014 after first meeting in 2008, but less than a year later they decided to go their separate ways.

A spokesperson for Jenson said at the time: "Jenson and Jessica have decided to go their separate ways and it is very amicable. There is no one else involved."
