New arrival Renn is the fourth child for the Spanish-born singer.
He welcomed baby girl Lucia with husband Jwan last year, taking to Instagram to reveal the exciting news.
‘We are beyond happy to announce that we have become parents to a beautiful and healthy baby girl, Lucia Martin-Yosef,’ he wrote, alongside an adorable snap of he and Jwan holding the newborn’s hands.
‘It has been a special time for us and we cant wait to see where this stellar baby will take us. Both her beautiful brothers, me and Jwan have fallen in love with Lucia ❤’.
The star is also dad to 11-year-old twin sons Valentino and Matteo, who he welcomed back in 2008 using a surrogate.
Speaking to E! News last year after confirming that he had tied the knot with Syrian-born Swedish painter Jwan, the now dad-of-four said, "I want four more pairs of twins. I do want a big family, but there’s a lot going on at the moment.
"A lot of work, wedding, so we’re going to put things in order first and then we’re going to get ready for many more kids."
Big congrats to the whole family!
