Evelyn Lozada is celebrating the arrival of a healthy baby boy with her baseball star fiancé Carl Crawford.

The onetime Basketball Wives star revealed the birth as she tweeted: 'I have EXCITING NEWS! Thank you God for my blessing!'

The as-yet-unnamed 8lbs boy is 21inches long and was born on Saturday morning at 3.55am MST.

A representative for 37-year-old Evelyn told OK magazine, for whom she writes a column: 'New dad Carl is so excited and so is mommy.'

Evelyn is sure to be delighted by her son's arrival, having previously boasted that she was 'praying for a boy'.

The baby joins Evelyn's 20-year-old daughter Shaniece from a previous relationship.

Just this Christmas LA Dodger star Carl, 32, proposed to the Bronx native with a giant diamond ring reportedly weighing 14.5 carats and worth a cool $1.4 million.

It was only earlier in December that Lozada identified Crawford as the father of her unborn baby; the two had previously been linked but had never confirmed they were dating.

Lozada is one of the five original castmembers of VH1 reality show Basketball Wives, which premiered in 2010.

During the show, Lozada was initially in a relationship with NBA star Antoine Walker, whom she was also engaged to.

The Puerto Rican beauty was later linked to Patriots wide receiver Chad Johnson. The two tied the knot in 2012 in Saint Martin. 

The two announced their separation two months after their wedding following an alleged physical altercation.
