Dads-to-be! Tom and husband’s baby shower

THESE days, baby showers are a key date on the calendar for any mother expecting a child.

And it seems that as far as Tom Daley and his film-maker husband are concerned, it’s no different for a pair of fathers-to-be.

The couple, who are expecting a son through a surrogate, were thrown a surprise party by friends at their London flat at the weekend.

Olympic diver Daley, 23, and Dustin Lance Black, 43, wore matching ‘Oh Baby’ novelty paper glasses, as well as sashes emblazoned with ‘Daddy to Be’.

Guests, including Daley’s mother and brother, Sam, were treated to drinks out of coloured baby bottles with straws and an array of sandwiches and cupcakes – although it is not known whether the surrogate mother attended.

The couple, who married last year, posted pictures of the party on social media on Saturday. Daley shared a picture of him and US director Black, pictured, to his 2million followers with the caption: ‘Surprise baby shower.’

The double Olympic bronze medallist wore a leg brace after injury forced him to withdraw from the Commonwealth Games earlier this month.

The couple had revealed they were expecting a child on Valentine’s Day by sharing a picture with an ultrasound scan. Daley told the BBC: ‘It’s a little boy and we’re so, so excited, we’ve been working on the nursery, we’ve been reading all the books... My husband and I are so excited.’
