Singer Paul Weller welcomed his eighth child recently and confirmed the good news on his website. The statement described how Paul 'caught' the baby after a 'long and beautiful unassisted labour'.
The full statement read 'The Weller family are proud to announce the birth of baby Nova, who was born at home on Saturday evening. She was caught by her daddy after a long and beautiful unassisted labour. Hannah and Nova are doing really well and everyone is enjoying getting to know little Miss Weller.'
Paul and his second wife Hannah, nearly 30 years his junior, married in 2010, two years after she appeared as a backing singer on his solo album '22 Dreams'. Nova is their third child together after the couple had twin boys named John Paul and Bowie in 2012.
Nova is Paul's eighth child in total. His oldest child Leah is 29-years-old and from his first marriage to Dee C. Lee, who was a backing singer for his former band The Style Council.
A photo of little Nova has yet to be revealed, but earlier this month Hannah Weller posted a photo of herself looking stunning with a big bump and the caption 'Pregnant forever 🤰🏻💜'.
Paul Weller is not the only celebrity to welcome a baby to his family in later life. In the last few years many celebrities have become dads later in life including, Bruce Willis, Hugh Grant, Robert De Niro and Elton John.
