And a baby makes four!

Shayne Lamas and Nik Richie welcomed their second child earlier this month, a baby boy, via surrogate.

Closer Weekly broke the happy family news and reported that the newest addition to the brood was born shortly after midnight on the Fourth of July.

Coming in at an impressive 6 lbs., 4 oz., a source told the magazine that "the new bundle of joy arrived via natural water birth and everyone is happy and healthy."

Earlier this year, it was revealed that Lorenzo Lamas' wife, Shawna Craig, was the surrogate for her stepdaughter, who was unable to have any more children following a near-fatal pregnancy back in 2014.

At the time, Shayne lost the baby boy she was carrying after a rare uterine rupture. She explained on social media that she was 20-weeks pregnant before she was rushed to the hospital.

Doctors performed emergency surgery but the couple's son, whom they later named Rex Jagger, was growing outside her uterus and couldn't be saved. She then underwent an emergency hysterectomy, and subsequently lost her uterus and half her bladder.

But the blonde reality star's stepmother stepped in after the traumatic ordeal, and offered to help in the most miraculous of ways.

"Shawna's not just my stepmother. She's like a soul sister," Shayne originally told the publication back in March.

"She's an angel that blessed my whole family, including my father. Somebody else carrying your baby is weird. But I lost my son, and now Shawna is carrying my son. I have just been given the biggest blessing in the whole world and I will always be grateful."

Shayne and Nik have a daughter named Press, who was born in 2012.

Congratulations to the Lamas-Richie family on their newest arrival!
