Bec Daniher has honoured her late father by including Neale in her newborn son’s name.

Bec and partner Drew welcomed their third child into the world on June 26, but kept the name under wraps.

She posted on Instagram on Monday afternoon, welcoming the arrival of Ted Neale Daniher-Howell.

Bec posted three photos of the new bundle of joy, including one with big sisters Billie and Hazel.

The post was quickly flooded with likes and comments.

“THE most perfect little boy 🥹🫶🏼🩵😭 his name is just beautiful. Congratulations guys xx,” Channel 7 commentator Abbey Holmes wrote.

“Welcome to the world beautiful boy! Well done mum xxx,” Abbey Gelmi said.

“He is beautiful, congratulations,” champion Aussie swimmer Ariarne Titmus said.

Neale passed away in May after a 13-year battle with MND, just weeks before the AFL’s annual Big Freeze at the ‘G game between Collingwood and Melbourne.

Neale was farewelled at a state funeral last month with friends and family taking the stage in a moving service.

Bec, who was always by Neale’s side during their tireless MND campaigning, delivered a stirring speech.

“I feel incredible fortunate to have dad in my life for 35 years. He tested me, he supported me, he guided me and abaove all else, he loved us in his own way,” she began.

“When MND came into our lives it set off a grenade that changed the very foundations, but somehow in the middle of it, it brought us closer than ever.

“For 12 years, I worked side by side with him. In that time, he became more than a dad to me, he became my mentor, my coach and my confidant.

“I learnt so much from him and those lessons I will carry on with me forever.”

Bec went on to say that Neale inspired her and everyone else around him to be better people.

“He had this incredible ability to pull you in and have you hanging on every word he says, but not not quite sure where it will end up,” she continued.

“You’d laugh, you’d reflect and somehow woven into this were these powerful crumbs of wisdom, long after the story ended.

“I’ll admit I was pretty daunted when I had to speak on his behalf when his voice started failing him.

“But his message to me was simple: Be authentic, be yourself and don’t try to be anybody else.

“It was such a simple piece of advice but it grounded me every time I stepped up.”

Bec broke down when speaking about the impending birth of her son.

“In the next week or two, we will be welcoming a little boy into the world,” she said through tears.

“I know you wanted to meet him, but he’ll have your spirit and laugh.

“We will forever miss you, we will forever love you.”
