"We are in love and soaking up all the baby cuddles," Lutz wrote. "Ashtyn loves her baby brother, Koda is the sweetest, most gentle dog big sis ever, and mama and baby are doing well.

"This big boy eats around the clock and is gearing up to be built like Hercules like his daddy.

"Thanks for all the love and prayers! We are so blessed and in love and can’t believe that God has given us another precious gift!"

It wasn’t long before friends, family and fans flooded the comments section extending well wishes and congratulations to both Lutz and Gonzales.

The couple have been married since 2017 and already share a 1-year-old daughter, Ashtyn Lilly, who is now taking on big sister duties.

Lutz recently shared a photo of the toddler patiently waiting for the new addition to the family while clutching some cuddly toys. "Waiting for baby brother to come to share bunnies with," he captioned the heartwarming post.

The Twilight actor often shares updates about his personal life with his followers on social media and in early 2020 opened up on Instagram after his wife suffered a still-birth six months into her pregnancy.
