It's a very happy holiday season for Kings of Leon!

Nathan Followill and Jessie Baylin welcomed daughter Violet Marlowe Followill on Wednesday in Nashville, the drummer's rep tells E! News.

This is the first child for the couple, who wed in 2009.

Little Violet weighed in at 7 pounds and 13 ounces.

"I can proudly announce the birth of my sweet angel Violet Marlowe Followill," the new dad tweeted today. "My heart has been stolen and it feels so good."

Nathan confirmed his exciting family news in June, just days after his brother and bandmate Caleb Followill and wife Lily Aldridge welcomed daughter Dixie Pearl.

"I can proudly announce that me & the lovely @JessieBaylin are expecting our first child," Nathan tweeted. "I'm beyond excited/anxious. Life is beautiful."

What a beautiful way to head into 2013!
