Although they usually like their personal life to be as private as possible, new dad Tom Brady couldn’t help himself but share his joy with reporters the other night, informing them that wife Gisele Bundchen had just given birth to a baby boy. Reps for the couple were not immediately available for comment, People says, but nothing confirms a report like when it comes straight from the horse’s mouth, as the saying goes.

“There’s another Brady in the bunch. Gisele Bundchen and husband Tom Brady welcomed a baby boy on Tuesday night. Brady announced the news to reporters Wednesday after People reported the story. The football star called his son’s birth ‘a wonderful experience in my life.’ He also told reporters happily, ‘I didn’t get much sleep last night,’ USA Today reports,” People writes.

Previously, Brady let it slip that he knew the baby’s gender, but that his wife Gisele didn’t, choosing to find out upon delivery. Because of this, he could not share with the media whether they’d be having a boy or a girl but, as the football star put it, whichever it would turn out to be, it would undoubtedly bring much joy to the family.

“Bundchen, 29, and New England Patriots quarterback Brady, 32, were married in a private ceremony in February in Los Angeles. In April, they held a follow-up wedding for friends and family at Bundchen’s Costa Rican estate. The child is the first for the Brazilian supermodel. Brady has a 2-year-old son, Jack, with actress Bridget Moynahan,” People further informs.

As also noted above, the couple is known for their unwillingness to open up to the press on matters they consider private. This is why they did not wish to confirm they were married and why they never issued a statement as to Gisele’s pregnancy, as it has become customary with celebrities. Nevertheless, for some reason or another, they’re expected to announce the baby’s name in the days to come, so keep an eye on this space for updates.
