Olivia, who is a freestyle footballer, also posted heartfelt photos of their newborn on her social media.
Adam's co-stars including Owen Warner, Nikki Anderson and Gary Lucy shared their congratulations in the comments.
The couple announced her pregnancy back in March, sharing a sweet black and white silhouette photo.
Adam joined the cast of Hollyoaks in 2017, but his character was killed off in a hit and run in 2021. He has since had small roles in Emmerdale.
The actor was previously in a relationship with his Hollyoaks co-star Sophie Porley, who played Ellie Nightingale.
They ended their two-year romance shortly after covid back in 2020.
Hinting that the pressures of the coronavirus lockdown may have been involved in the split, Sophie told her followers they 'broke up.. like lots of couples'.
Sophie shared the news during a question and answer session on Instagram Stories where fans could ask her anything they liked.
One follower asked if she and Adam were still together, with Sophie replying: 'We broke up earlier this year. Like lots of couples this year.'

Sophie and Adam had been dating since October 2018, with them going public with the news on Instagram with a loved-up selfie.
Before they made things official in real life, their Hollyoaks characters – Ellie and Brody Hudson – had also hooked up.
Sophie left the soap in 2018 and told Digital Spy at the time: 'There probably never is a "right time", but I'd been at Hollyoaks for three years and I'd had some amazing storylines during that time.
'So it just felt right to leave now, but I'm going to miss it so much.'
