He’s here!
Daphne Oz is a new mama after welcoming a son, her second child with husband John Jovanovic, on Wednesday, Oct. 21, her rep confirms to PEOPLE.
The family’s new addition — who weighed in at 8 lbs, 6 oz., and measured 21 inches long — joins 20-month-old big sister Philomena Bijou.
“Daphne and I feel extremely blessed with our new addition to the family and Philomena is excited to bring her little brother home,” Jovanovic says in a statement.
On Thursday, Oz’s father, Dr. Mehmet Oz, took to Instagram to share the exciting news.
“Earlier today, @daphneoz blessed us with a beautiful grandson! @lisaoz and I couldn’t be happier,” he wrote alongside a photo of the new big sister.
“Philo wants to know what all the commotion is about — I think she’s realizing that her lifelong best friend was just born. We thank you all for your well-wishes and prayers.”
Oz’s co-hosts first announced the birth Thursday on Twitter.
“Congratulations, Daphne! We are all so happy for you. And we cannot wait to meet the new little man. Send our love to Philo and to John — and send us lots of photos! We miss you and we love you,” Carla Hall, Mario Batali, Michael Symon, and Clinton Kelly say in a short clip.
The Chew co-host announced her pregnancy during a special segment on the show in April.
“This may or may not be something you know about me,” she teased, before holding up a sign that read, “I’m pregnant.”
Oz later revealed the baby on the way was a boy. “Philo practicing for her little BROTHER!! We’re so excited,” she wrote along with a photo of her toddler pushing a doll stroller.
After welcoming her daughter in 2014, Oz admitted that she wasn’t prepared for all the surprises that motherhood entailed, including her body’s inability to immediately bounce back.
“You still look six months pregnant,” she told Fitness magazine of her postpartum figure. “I thought I knew where I’d be when I went for my first doctor appointment a few weeks after giving birth. I’d lost only 10 pounds!”
But the mom-to-be has been happily showing off her growing baby belly on Instagram, sharing snaps of her wearing everything from little black dresses to bikinis.
“Abs for DAYZZZZZ. (and my belly button seems to have gotten lost, in case you find it lying around somewhere),” she captioned a shot of her snapping a selfie.
