“Both mother and daughter are doing well,” their rep revealed in a statement.

This is the first child for the 36-year-old Aussie.

Little Izzy will be joining Eddie’s clan with his oldest children Eric, with ex-girlfriend Paulette McNeely, and Christian, with ex-girlfriend Tamara Hood.

He has five more kids with ex-wife Nicole Mitchell: Bria, Myles, Shayne, Zola, and Bella. He also shares nine-year-old Angel with former Spice Girls star Mel B.

The Hollywood star, who will now have nine children, has five kids with his former wife of 12 years, Nicole Mitchell.

The duo, who revealed they were having a girl a month ago, are notoriously private.

Having been together for more than four years, Paige revealed to Vanity Fair that she prefers to stay out of the limelight.

“I’m in a relationship with a celebrity, so I felt like there’s already enough of me out there,” she explained.

“I felt like I was giving out too much information. I was giving people too much access. I like to keep as much private as possible now.”

Congratulations, we can’t wait to see Izzy!

The pair have been together for over four years.
