Ryan Serhant shares sweet snap of moment he did skin-to-skin with newborn ...

Ryan Serhant has shared a very precious photo from the day he welcomed his first child.

The 34-year-old Million Dollar Listing star posed a picture to Instagram on Tuesday showing the moment he did skin-to-skin contact with his newborn Zena. 

Ryan explained in the caption: 'This was taken at about 6 minutes of life. It’s my favorite photo. The nurses told me to take my shirt off so we could do skin to skin.

He added: 'You were so alert. So calm. I fell in love with you so fast. My little Zena'   

Ryan and his 33-year-old wife Emilia Bechrakis welcomed Zena on February 26 and have been open about their struggle to conceive. 

The star revealed on Instagram that the couple had waited for 'almost three years' to meet their daughter before a successful round of in vitro fertilization helped the pair create a family.

'Your momma and I have waited almost 3 years to meet you,' he wrote in a lengthy caption. 'We had no idea how difficult getting pregnant with you was going to be. We tried everything. We were so nervous you might never come. 

'When we finally decided to try IVF, we were so scared it wouldn’t work. And then you stuck. And then we heard your little heartbeat for the first time. Your mom and I were so excited every time we would go to the hospital to see you, but even more terrified we would lose you.'

Ryan and Emilia met in 2011 before becoming engaged in September 2015 and tying the knot in grand fashion in Greece on July 7, 2016. 

'Because the fact that we were pregnant - as beautiful as it was - was almost too good to be true,' he wrote. 'And because of that fear, we loved you as hard as we could from the moment we knew you existed.'
