No spoiler from Simon Cowell this time! British TV presenter Holly Willoughby and her husband Dan Baldwin have announced that they welcomed their first child — a boy — Monday, May 11th! Son Harry James Baldwin was born at 1:18 p.m., weighing in at 7 lbs., 4 oz.

Wasting no time to share their happy news — Simon beat Holly to the punchline back in November when he announced her pregnancy — the couple have released a statement that reads,

“Mother and baby are doing well.”

Holly, 28, and Dan were married in August 2007.

Aww congratulations to Holly on the birth of her baby boy, Harry! She must be really thrilled she has a boy! I love her on X Factor- so funny when Simon spilled the beans, the look on her face!

Congratulations to Holly, Dan and Harry! Will miss her pregnancy style though she really knew how to make the most of her bump. I hope she gets to spend some quality time with Harry before the X Factor kicks off again (there goes my Saturday nights!).

I’ve always been surprised by how ‘normal and common’ Harry James Potter’s names was considering other names in the book (like Draco, Hermione, etc.).
