"Sasha Vai Keneti Apa, born on the 23rd of September," Clara wrote.
"He is a perfect perfection. I am the luckiest to have now two men of my life, filling my heart with this cosmic gigantic vast love," she continued.
The couple announced the pregnancy via Instagram in May 2021.
Clara shared the news with a mini photoshoot, showing off her bump.

Neither of them initially confirmed the pregnancy on Insta but did later comment when questioned by dozens of fans.
