Idol Alum Justin Guarini Is a Dad

Justin Guarini is a new dad.

The American Idol alum, 32, and wife Reina Capodici welcomed a son, William Neko Bell Guarini, at 6:26 a.m. on Tuesday, April 26, his rep Jeff Ballard confirms to PEOPLE exclusively.

He weighed in at 7 lbs., 2 oz. and joins big sister Lola, 6, from Capodici?s prior relationship.

?Quite a polite fellow for waiting until late Monday, early Tuesday to make his entrance,? Guarini tells PEOPLE, who just wrapped his role in American Idiot on Sunday evening.

?With a full head of curly brown hair, wide open and alert eyes he came charging into the world.?

?Reina is doing wonderfully and should be given a medal for going 10 months and 1 week with child,? he adds.

?She performed beautifully and only had to push for 15-20 minutes before the babe arrived.�We?re resting comfortably in the hospital and can?t wait to introduce him to his big sister (who was asleep for the whole experience) when visiting hours commence.?
