The loved-up couple, who met in 2012, smiled in the snap as Dani cradled their new-born baby in her arms.
Ter Stegen added the caption: “An unforgettable day in our lives.
“Welcome to the world and to our family, Ben ter Stegen. We love you @daniterstegen.”
Borussia Dortmund star Mario Gotze and Real Betis defender Marc Bartra were among the stars to congratulate them.
The Barcelona goalkeeper hinted Dani was about to give birth on Friday when he shared a snap of himself sat against a wall with his mobile phone in his hand.
He added the caption: “Counting down the days.”
And his wife showed off her baby bump as she shared a touching photo of them walking across a beach hand-in-hand three weeks ago.
Ter Stegen tied the knot with the former architecture student in the Catalan holiday resort of Sitges in May 2017.

The 24-cap German international has been with Barcelona since he joined from Borussia Monchengladbach in 2014.
But a number of Europe’s biggest clubs have indicated their interest in an attempt to prise him away from the Nou Camp.
Serie A giants Juventus are the latest club to be linked as Maurizio Sarri looks to add another goalkeeper to his ranks.
