Photos: Shark attack survivor welcomes son, shares first picture

Inspirational professional-surfer Bethany Hamilton welcomed a baby boy on June 1st. Aged 13, Bethany lost her arm - and 60 per cent of the blood in her body - when she was attacked by a shark while surfing off the coast of Kauai. Incredibly, she survived the attack.

The now 25-year-old and husband Adam Dirks announced the news on Twitter and shared a first picture of the baby with fans.

Hamilton, who lost her arm in a 2003 shark attack, shared the happy news with followers on Instagram on Monday, June 15.
'Blessed to welcome our son, Tobias, into the world! #stokedmomma,' she captioned it.

I like these people, they really love for who you are even if it's shortlived, it's true. Which Nigerian/African man would marry a woman after she has lost her arm. Even if it happens in marriage, they begin to act funny.

Unknown said...

Wow! Thank God she didn't lost her life, and I praise God for her life. Congrats for d new baby, and God bless them abundantly.

Awww congrats to her and her husband. If she were a nigerian, she might not get a husband here. Even if a man luvs her, his parent will prolly say no. U cant marry her. Lets luv pple regardless of deir physical disabilites. Those ones dat dont av any physical probs, are prolly d ones wit very bad attitude. Just saying.

Unknown said...

Wow! E no easy oooo. God bless d man inlove wif her

Congrats Adam and Bethany. It would have been nice to welcome Tobias with the Amazing race winning. I and husband rooted for you guys. Tobias is worth more than that. Like your amazing race co competitors called you "the beast." even with one arm, you could do what people with both arms couldn't do. I celebrate you dear. Always a fan.
