Ward was 7 pounds, 9 ounces, and measured 20-inches long.

According to the site, Charles, 34, and Cassie “can’t stop staring at him and he hasn’t stopped chitchatting” since he arrived.

“He’s got momma’s nose and dad’s eyes and vocal chords and a head full of blond hair,” the post added.

The Nashville couple first announced they were expecting last August, via a post on Womanista that featured the pair snuggled up on their couch holding mugs that read “mother” and “father.”

“We feel like our life just began today and are so grateful for a healthy baby boy in our arms,” they told the site on Thursday.

In November, Cassie exclusively told Us Weekly that she couldn’t wait for Charles to become a dad.

“He’s so excited,” she said. “He’s gonna be just the best dad. We have a lot of nieces and nephews, so he’s used to being around kids, and he’s so incredibly calm and fun around them. We’re excited and ready for this next chapter.”
