Former American Idol judge Kara Dioguardi is a new mother after welcoming her first child via surrogate.


The songwriter and her husband Mike McCuddy are now the proud parents of little Greyson James Carroll McCuddy.


A gestational surrogate gave birth to the baby boy in Los Angeles on Thursday (31Jan13), DioGuardi tells People.com.


The 42-year-old star gave her son the middle name Carroll in honor of her late mother.


DioGuardi turned to a surrogate following a series of fertility issues and failed in vitro fertilisation (IVF) attempts, and she recently praised the unidentified woman, insisting, "She's given us an incredible gift."
