Hugh Grant is on diaper duty once again.

The 52-year-old Cloud Atlas star and his on-again, off-again girlfriend Tinglan Hong welcomed their second child recently…and Grant couldn't wait to share the news via Twitter. 

"In answer to some journos. Am thrilled my daughter now has a brother. Adore them both to an uncool degree. They have a fab mum," Grant tweeted Saturday morning. "And to be crystal clear. I am the Daddy."

Hong and Grant welcomed their first child together, Tabitha, in September 2011.

The actor, who referred to fatherhood as "life-changing" in an interview with Ellen DeGeneres last year, said he would highly recommend becoming a parent to anyone.

"Everyone was right all these years, saying, "Hugh, why don't you have some children? It changes your life," Grant said in the sit-down. "Now that I have a child, it is life changing. I recommend it. Get some!'

Congrats!
