Kris Allen is a first-time father after his wife Katy O'connell gave birth to a baby boy.
The pair has named their son Oliver Neil Allen, with their representative telling Usmagazine.com, "He's seven pounds, seven ounces, 20 3/4 inches long. Mom and baby are doing great."
The couple married in 2008, a year before Kris Allen won American
Idol.
The musician announced he was set to be a dad in January (13) after
he and Katy O'Connell were involved in a nasty car crash on New
Year's Day (01Jan13).
He wrote in a post on Twitter, "Thank you, Ford, for equipping me
with a car that kept my whole family and the little one we have on
the way safe. Yes, I got in a really bad wreck tonight, and yes,
I'm having a lil (sic) baby."
