Michael Buble welcomes son

Michael Buble's wife Luisana Lopilato gave birth to the couple's second child on Friday (22Jan16).

The Bubles announced the exciting news on the 40-year-old musician's Twitter account, posting a photo of their newborn son resting on mum's chest as the proud singer looks over them.

A caption accompanying the family shot reads: "And then there were 4. Introducing Noah's little brother Elias Buble".

Buble and Luisana are now parents of two - they welcomed their first child, Noah, in August, 2013.

The Haven't Met You Yet singer tied the knot with the 28-year-old Argentinian model and actress in 2011.

Just before confirming Luisana was pregnant again last summer (15), the family experienced a horrific scare involving the health of their eldest son Noah, who was taken to the hospital in June (15) after suffering severe burns when he was exposed to scalding hot water.

Luisana told Argentine publication Luz the accident occurred after he climbed up onto a kitchen counter and grabbed a container of boiling water.

Although doctors feared Noah would need surgery to help him recover from the burns, the little boy bounced back, and to honor the excellent medical assistance Noah received, Michael has been making regular visits to the children's hospital where his son was treated.

"We spent all that time in the hospital watching other kids come in every single day with the same thing," the Feeling Good singer told Britain's Daily Express newspaper. "It gives you perspective, so now I spend a lot of time at the children's hospital.

"It makes me thankful because there are so many kids and families who have had it far worse. There is nothing worse in the whole universe than your kid hurting. I try to remind (my wife) Lu that we are lucky - that it could have been worse."
