Taking to Twitter, the former boyband member revealed that his baby girl is named Aurelia Rose.
She was born at 8.30am weight 7lb.
The newborn is swaddled in delicate white as she lies on a fur rug next to flowers and a heart-shaped blackboard in a picture Tom shared to announce the news.
Tom and his partner got engaged in 2016 and tied the knot on July 14 last year in a romantic ceremony in the grounds of Ridge Farm in Surrey, England, surrounded by their family and closest friends.
Tom had bandmates Max George and Jay McGuinness as his Ushers.
"It was the best day of our lives!" he told at the time.

Kelsey added: "I've also always wanted to get married outside so it was perfect, and there was no time limit for how long the party could go on for. I was like, we cannot have our party stopping at 12am!"
Not all of his former band mates turned up to help celebrate his big day.
Siva Kaneswaran said he couldn't make the date and Nathan Sykes ignored his email - despite the pair being invited to play the part of his ushers.

He explained: "It's weird, I emailed all the boys a few months ago and asked them to be ushers.
"As we've not all been together since 2014, I thought my wedding might have been a nice moment for it.
"Siva and Nathan said they'd like to but they didn't know what they were doing at that time.

"Then it got closer and I needed their suit sizes. Siva said no and Nathan didn't reply.
"It is what it is. We all got on in the band, but I was closer to Max and Jay.
"It was usually us three who went out and got smashed on tour. I'm happy they were there."
Max finally launched his solo career four-and-a-half years after the group split.

However, he said a reunion with the band is not off the cards.
He told The Sun's The Dan Wootton Interview: "“It's one of those things that me and Tom and Jay have definitely spoken about before.
“It's been more sat around having a pint, saying, 'Aw it would be great to do it again, wouldn't it?' I think in the back of our minds we'd all like to do it at some point.”
