He posted a picture of his newborn daughter Olivia clutching the happy couple's fingers.
Aguero wrote along the snap on his social media: “September 13 2024. Welcome Olivia. We cannot express in words so much happiness.”
His model partner posted a congratulation messages they had received from friends and family along with more photos showing the ex-Argentina international cradling his baby.

His Instagram post at the time showed the loved-up duo holding each other by the hand with two pictures of the ultrasound showing their baby in her womb.
The post was captioned: “Immense excitement. We’re waiting for you little girl.”
On Tuesday, heavily-pregnant Sofia published a selfie photo showing her practising yoga at the couple’s home in Miami alongside an emotional message which said: “Last yoga class with my little one inside me.
"Such strong emotions I can’t find the words to explain them.

“In days or hours, perhaps, she will change my life for ever. I am going to begin to live what I dreamt of all my life, being a mummy.”
One of the first to congratulate them was Sergio’s 15-year-old son Benji, whose mum Gianinna was one of Diego Maradona’s two daughters with his wife Claudia Villafane.
Lionel Messi’s wife Antonela Roccuzzo wrote “congratulations” on the couple’s Instagrams alongside several heart emojis.
Aguero announced his retirement from professional football at an emotional press conference in December 2021.
The five-time Premier League winner was diagnosed with an irregular heartbeat days after he was taken to hospital clutching his chest and complaining of breathing problems and dizziness during a game for Barcelona.
He signed for Barca after becoming Man City's record goalscorer during his decade in England.
Aguero took a massive pay cut to join the Catalan giants after being offered the chance to team up with close pal Messi.
But he played only five games for Barca with the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner.
