Billy Joel and his wife Alexis Roderick have welcomed their first child together - a baby girl.
The couple tied the knot on July 4 this year and Roderick gave birth to baby Della Rose today, August 12, in New York.
It was confirmed in April that Joel would become a dad for the second time with a spokesperson for the 65-year-old musician telling People.com: "Billy is thrilled to become a dad again."
The newlyweds have been together for six years and first met at a restaurant in Long Island. 33-year-old Roderick told the NY Daily News, "He was going to dinner. I wasn't. And we were friends for a while before we started dating."
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, actor Kevin James, and Joel's 29-year-old daughter Alexa Ray Joel from his marriage to model Christie Brinkley were among the guests at the ceremony.
According to Joel's spokeswoman, the couple "surprised guests at their annual July 4 party by exchanging vows in front of their family and close friends".
Christie Brinkley, to whom Joel was wed for nine years, shared a photo of the couple and congratulated the pair. "Congratulations to the glowing bride and groom," she said. "And to my daughter Alexa, who has a wonderful friend in Alexis! Wishing the growing family every happiness!"
