Josh Holloway and Yessica Kumala are parents again.
On Tuesday E! announced the Lost star and his wife had a baby boy named Hunter Lee six weeks ago, but only now are telling people.
The Intelligence star already has a daughter named Java with his wife of 10 years.
Josh's reps did not want to comment.
About to become parents again! Josh and Yessica, pictured here in Los Angeles in 2006, are welcoming their second child
The 44-year-old actor said in January during a Winter TCA press meeting for his show Intelligence they already picked out a name for the tiny tot.
Meanwhile, Josh - who married Yessica in October 2004 - admits he was initially worried that he wouldn't be able to bond with the baby like he has done with Java, but since speaking to friends and family he's realized that he will love the newborn just as much.
He said: 'I was not prepared for how much love I would have in me. So I'm a little worried, like how can I love something as much as I love my daughter? But everyone says your love just grows, so don't be afraid of that, so that's my only thing.'
Guess what?! Josh, pictured at the Winter TCA Press Tour in January, told reporters he was a family man
Josh initially revealed the news of his second child during an interview with Entertainment Tonight in mid-November.
'That's funny because I'm a family man,' the Intelligence star said in response to a question about being a TV sex symbol.
'I've got a four-and-a-half-year-old daughter and another one on the way. Pretty excited about that.'
After taking some time off after Lost wrapped up its final season so as to spend time with Java, Josh has gotten back in the game - starring in Intelligence, a new CBS series that debuted January 7.
Fatherhood: Josh is already a father to four-year-old Java
The soon to be father-of-two plays a high-tech intelligence agent with a microchip implanted in his brain, which allows him to hack into any data center and access key intel.
The role is quite a deviation from his snarky Sawyer character on Lost, something which drew him to the role.
'I definitely wanted to do something other than that character and this was also something I grew up loving,' Josh told E!
Doting dad: He said of being a dad - 'I was not prepared for how much love I would have in me. So I'm a little worried, like how can I love something as much as I love my daughter? But everyone says your love just grows'
'I grew up with three brothers and we always played spy and sneak and all these games. I grew up wanting to be James Bond or a Mission: Impossible agent.
'I was like this is a no-brainer and also it's just a skill set I haven't gotten to use a lot. I've done martial arts for years and I have a good bit of experience with weapons and so forth...I did it on Mission: Impossible for like a blip.
'It just naturally attracted me and I thought the script was really smart and current.'
