Their bouncing baby boy tipped the scales at 7 pounds, 4 ounces, and was born via surrogate.
The E! News and Fashion Police host told E!, "Bill and I are blessed beyond words to welcome Edward into our lives. Thank you so much to everyone who supported us along the way. We are so in love with the little guy already!"
