This is the first child for the couple, who married in 2007. Brown is mom to Phoenix, 12, from a previous marriage, and 4-year-old Angel, whose father is actor Eddie Murphy.
Two of Brown’s fellow Spice Girls gave birth recently, Victoria Beckham’s daughter Harper, 7 weeks, and Emma Bunton’s son Tate, 4 months.
In recent years, Brown participated in a 2007-08 reunion with the Spice Girls and placed second during the fifth season (2007) of “Dancing With the Stars.” His partner, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, offered his congrats already via Twitter: “Wishing your newborn all the health and happiness!”
