Along with the snap, she joked: 'Our new man has his Dad's habits already. Tom Laurence arrived last Friday, at a civilised hour after lunch. 7lbs2.'
Johnny, 44, added with his similar picture post: 'He's got his Mother's eyes & my taste in footwear. Tom Laurence, born last Friday, 7lb 2 ounces of nonstop pooing.'
The couple, who have been married for four years, welcomed their son on July 17, after remaining quiet on social media for the first four days.
After their reveal, Johnny - real name Michael Joseph Pennington, Sr - later posted that he was overwhelmed at the kind response from fans.

The funnyman wrote: 'Overwhelmed by your lovely response to our new arrival Twitter, thanks so much everyone. Will do my best to read through all your messages x.'
He also shared another fun snap, showing himself dressed up in blue scrubs, presumably in the maternity ward during the birth of his second child.
'But @KingstonHospNHS @maternity_team I got a bit carried away in my scrubs "I need 200mils of a made up drug, stat!"' he wrote along with the photo.
Maia, 38, kept it in the comedy vein on her Twitter page following the couple's reveal, joking about having rock-hard abs and a six pack after four days.

She quipped, along with a photograph of a model's toned tum: 'Post baby tummy 4 days in. I'm such a disappointment to myself.... #firstpersontomentionpostbabybodygetsaslap.'
Johnny, who married the brunette beauty in Seville in 2011, previously credited his older son for helping him to turn his life around, as he used to go on 'four-day benders' before Michael was born.
He said: 'When you have a child, it's suddenly that feeling of, 'I need to be around now and I want to be around.' It's not about you and in a great way that pulls you back from the abyss.'
Michael's mother is Johnny's ex-wife, Catherine Donnelly, to whom he was married
The couple announced they were expecting their first child on Twitter in January by posting a scan of their baby with a pint of Guinness photoshopped onto its belly.
