The photos include a stunning family photo of the couple holding their little one in a carrier.
The other photos include black-and-white shots of the newborn sleeping soundly and clinging to his dad's finger.
According to PEOPLE, the couple first announced that they were expecting a baby via surrogate in May 2024 during an interview with Men’s Health.
Underwood and Brown celebrated their first wedding anniversary on May 13 and could not wait to be fathers.
"That was one of the things we bonded over early in our relationship. We both wanted to be dads," said Underwood.
"But it's been such an incredible experience for us to go through this together, and I cannot wait to watch Jordan become a dad."
PEOPLE reported that the couple first started their in vitro fertilisation (IVF) and surrogacy journey two years ago, about the same time they started planning their wedding.
"Our doctor actually let our surrogate tell us, which I thought was so special. She got to text us and share the exciting news, and it was such a moment of, I think, relief for us," the former NFL player said.

"We're so fortunate and lucky to have her, but her to make us feel a part of it too, it was really special," he admitted.
"Everybody's been so excited. My family especially knows how long I've wanted to be a dad, and they just know my journey of coming out. [Wanting] to be a father was something that kept me in the closet for a long time.
"So for me to be able to say we're pregnant is really big and really emotional."
Underwood, who is a former ‘The Bachelor’ star and former NFL player, came out as gay in 2021.
