THE BLOCK stars Dale and Sophie Vine have announced the arrival of their baby son with a name inspired by their recent road trip in a camper van.
Two-time Block contestant Dale, 32, uploaded a picture of his son’s tiny feet, announcing the arrival of Van Byron Vine.

“Early Christmas present for @sophie_vine and I! Van Byron Vine,” he wrote alongside the pic. “Everyone’s great! #VBVine #NewLittleHoodRat #ThingsJustGotReal #BringYourGoldAndFrankincenseButLeaveTheMyrrh’.”
Sophie also posted an image on her Instagram page: “Our beautiful baby boy Van Byron Vine was born last week and is absolute perfection,” the new mum, 26, wrote.

Perhaps their son’s unusual name was inspired by their road trip in a camper van, in which they made an extensive stop in Byron Bay.
The pair documented their trip on Instagram, posting this picture in September while stopping in the popular holiday spot on the NSW north coast.
“Road Trippin’ with @vineyd — stopped in Byron Bay, but it’s off further north tomorrow xx #roadtrip #byronbay #sunshine #whatsmyrighthanddoing” wrote Sophie. Source: Instagram
Either that, or the moniker “#VBVine” could have been inspired by Dale’s favourite beer?
Dale shared a picture of a slab of Victoria Bitter, the same initials as his newborn son, being pushed by himself in a pram during their trip.
“After two and a half blocks someone finally settled,” he wrote of the slab of VB in a pram. Source: Instagram
