“20.02.2025 our price arrived, Ezerra Ray Brook,” the caption read.
“We are so in love. Our little champ – first baby in boxing history to be born to two world champions. (No pressure though).”
In the post, Bridges shared a photo of her holding baby Ezerra in the hospital bed.
Ezerra is snapped wearing a blue outfit and an adorable white beanie which read, ‘born 2025’.
Also featured in the carousel of images is a shirtless Brook kissing the forehead of his baby boy.
The two are also pictured with beaming smiles as they hold up their newborn.
Bridges first revealed her pregnancy to the world when she showed off her baby bump at Misfits Boxing’s 18th X Series event in Newcastle last September.
The Australian had ventured up north to support her close friend Elle Brooke headline the card.
Now that she has given birth, time will tell whether the 38-year-old elects to resume her boxing career.
Bridges has not fought since she lost her IBF female bantamweight title to Miyo Yoshida in December 2023.

The Australian first claimed the title when she out-pointed Maria Cecilia Roman in March 2022 and defended her crown later that year in an all-Aussie battle against Shannon O’Connell.
Bridges dominated her rival and earned an eighth-round TKO win in Leeds.
As for Brook, he hung up the gloves in February 2022 after a stoppage victory over Amir Khan.
Brook retired with a record of 40-3, with 28 of his victories coming via knockout.
The Sheffield welterweight was unbeaten through his first 36 fights but dropped his first bout in September 2016 when he stepped up in weight to face Gennady Golovkin for the WBC, IBF and IBO middleweight titles.
Unfortunately Brook’s bid fell short as Golovkin stopped him in the fifth round.
Brook became a world champion in August 2014 when he overcame Shawn Porter via majority decision to claim the IBF welterweight title.
The 43-year-old defended his title three times before Errol Spence stopped him in May 2017 to snatch his title away.
In his second-last fight, Brook was beaten by Terence Crawford for the WBO welterweight title but ended his career on a high against Khan.
