Alongside a picture of the newborn, Amar wrote: “Full Heart. Welcome to the world Arella Adatia.”
His famous pals rushed to congratulate him, with Jess Impiazi commenting: “Congrats you guys.”
While his EastEnders co-star Rukki Nahar wrote: “Congratulations.”
The star welcomed his first child in December 2021.
The 39-year-old appeared in EastEnders from October 2019 to October 2020, when his character was wrongly sent to jail – by his own mum.
Suki framed Jags for Martin Fowler’s assault – which was actually carried out by her other son Vinny – after he revealed his relationship with Habiba to the family.
Heading the the police station, a seething Suki handed Jags’ bloodied jeans over to the police and told them he was wearing them on the day of Martin’s attack.
It wasn’t long before a devastated Jags was whisked away in a police car.
Fans were stunned at Suki’s brutal betrayal and shocked she’d stoop so low.
After his exit Jags was killed off-screen in prison – leaving Suki and the rest of the family devastated.
Amar has also appeared in Doctors and the films UK Residents Only, Gangsters Gamblers Geezers, Dangerous Game and Dead Ringer.
