Jenson Button becomes a father for the first time!

Jenson Button has become a father for the first time after his fiancee Brittny Ward gave birth to a baby son.

The former F1 champion confirmed in January that he and Ward were expecting and it seems that Baby Button was born on Wednesday or early Thursday.

Button withdrew from this year's Le Mans 24 Hours race with SMP Racing so he could spend more time with Ward and can now look forward to a few sleepless nights.

Congratulations to the new parents from everyone at GPFans!
