2 days ago 5

Olly Murs has kicked off the new year with a heartfelt tribute to his daughter Madison, who he and wife Amelia Tank welcomed in April.

The couple, who announced their pregnancy in December 2023, introduced their adorable baby girl to the world with a post showing them leaving the hospital as a family of three for the first time on April 17.

Since then, Olly has given fans a glimpse into his life as a new dad, sharing emotional moments including missing his first Father's Day with Madison due to work commitments, the Mirror reports.

However, he was able to take his first holiday with little Madison, heading to Polzeath, near Padstow in Cornwall for a well-deserved break - and even introduced her to her first Euros football match on TV.

From tantrums to teething, cute giggles and cheeky smiles, there's been no shortage of memories for Olly and Amelia as they embarked on what he fittingly called his "dad era". So much so, he was quick to honour the little girl who had brought so much happiness to both their lives in 2024.

Sharing a series of photos on Instagram, Olly proudly wrote: "2024 will forever be the year I became a dad to our Madison! ! A job that I'm trying my best at, it's hard at times but that smile, your laughs and especially them cheeky little dimples melt us everyday x x can't wait for more of the same in 2025, Happy New Year Everyone! ".

Olly Murs melted hearts with a photo wearing scrubs as he held his newborn daughter, with wife Amelia looking on joyfully. He followed up with an adorable snap of his little girl's tiny hand resting in his, and another sweet moment captured him planting a kiss on her head during some quality time.

Fans swooned over the intimate glimpse into his year, flocking to the comments with well-wishes for the family's exciting future. One fan gushed: "Gorgeous stuff. Here's to an amazing 2025 for you with your family (and with all us lot on tour! )"

Another chimed in: "You're absolutely smashing it mate, the glow up you've had since becoming a dad is insane, you can genuinely see you're so genuinely happy and so proud. Happy new year, can't wait to celebrate 15 years of Murs"

A third added: "Each stage of your babies life just gets better and better! ! ! Enjoy every moment and take lots of photos! ! ! ! "

While the Murs' plans for 2025 remain under wraps – aside from Madison's first birthday festivities – it's also set to be a banner year for Olly career-wise, marking a decade and a half since his self-titled debut album skyrocketed to success and earned a double platinum certification.
