Sophie Delezio is a mum! The 23-year-old has welcomed a baby boy with fiancé Joseph Salerno.

The two-time car miracle crash survivor revealed in April that she was expecting her first baby, saying she had, “The greatest gift of all coming in September”.

And now, she’s shared the very first image of her gorgeous boy, named Frankie.

“Welcome to the world, Frankie. Our hearts are so full.”

Sophie met Joseph when they were in year nine, with the pair announcing their engagement last year. When the couple announced their happy news earlier this year, they shared two beautiful photos on Instagram, showing Sophie’s growing baby bump.

In 2003 Sophie was badly injured when a car crashed through the window of a Sydney childcare centre and she was trapped under the burning car. She suffered third-degree burns to 85 per cent of her body.

Then in 2006, tragedy struck again when she was hit by a car near her home, suffering a brain injury and heart attack. She was thrown 18 metres after being hit while being pushed across a pedestrian crossing in her wheelchair.

Joseph told Woman’s Day last year that her amazing strength and spirit are what made him fall for the courageous mum-to-be. “She’s always putting everyone else before herself. Sophie’s the most genuine person I know,” he said.

  • This is wonderful news. What a strong courageous woman! Thrilled to bits for her and her partner. A lot of other people would have wallowed in misery and self pity but this lady has overcome tragedy to be the strong person she is now. We have lawyers who try to get their clients off of charges that use pathetic “they had a poor upbringing” then you have this shining light who has overcome not one but two car accidents to be the proud and capable mother of a beautiful little boy. Well done Sophie!
