It's time for Nick Lachey to start writing some lullabies. Lachey, 38, and his wife Vanessa Minnillo, 31, welcomed the birth of their first son on Wednesday, People reports. ""We are incredibly proud to announce the birth of our beautiful baby boy, Camden John Lachey," the couple said in a statement.

According to the statement, Camden was born at 6:54 PM. He weighed in at a whopping eight pounds, nine ounces and measured at 21 inches long.

Lachey and Minnillo have been together forever, so it was about time that they started a family. They began dating in 2006 after Lachey divorced his first wife, Jessica Simpson, that same year. Lachey and Minnillo briefly split in 2009, but the breakup only lasted several months. The couple finally tied the knot on July 15, 2011 during an intimate ceremony on Sir Richard Branson's private Island in the British Virgin Islands. Now, they have just expanded their family with the birth of little Camden.

""Love has truly been redefined for both of us,"" the couple said.

Congrats to the Lacheys on this happy news.
