Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino and his wife Lauren Sorrentino welcomed a baby girl Jan. 24, a rep for the couple confirmed to People

According to the publication, the Jersey Shore: Family Vacation stars named their daughter Mia Bella Elizabeth Sorrentino. She arrived at 8:22 a.m., weighing 5 lbs., 15 oz. at birth.

The couple, who are also parents to 21-month-old Romeo Reign Sorrentino, first announced they were expecting in August. Since then, both Mike and Lauren couldn't hide their excitement at becoming a bigger family. 

"I always wanted to have about three children but after having my first, I was definitely a little worried," Mike exclusively shared with E! News in August. "Are me and my wife going to be able to handle that? But once my wife was pregnant, we were so excited. We're so excited that the babies are going to be close in age."

And before celebrating Thanksgiving, Lauren expressed gratitude for her family and promised, "The best is yet to come."

"I love being a dad. I love being a new parent, but also I'm going to still be my authentic self on camera and that's what you see right now," he told E! News in January. "Right now, I'm in my 8th year of sobriety. I'm a new dad. I'm expecting a baby girl any minute right now. I'm super excited for that."

"I think I stay true to who I am," he added. "I try to keep the peace as much as I can most of the time."

But after being open about their journey to parenthood, including a miscarriage in 2019, both Mike and Lauren are grateful for the family they have created. 

"We had no idea what the future was going to hold," Mike previously told E! News. "We really just stayed in faith and lifted each other up and dusted each other off and we continued to move forward one day at a time. Eventually, it worked out and now we're going for baby number two and we feel like we are definitely living our best life."
