Five-time world champion skier Bode Miller has welcomed a healthy baby girl into the world bringing his brood to four children by three different mothers.

His wife, volleyball player Morgan Beck Miller, shared a heartwarming photo of their new bundle of joy in a post to her Instagram account on Saturday.

'Our baby girl made her way earthside (sic) this morning ... 7 lbs 4 oz 20.5" #grateful for another successful home birth,' she captioned the photo of the baby girl whose name has not been released.

This is the couple's second child together, as their first, Nash Skan Miller, was born in May 2015 and weighed slightly more than his new littler sister at 7 lbs 13 ounces.

She also shared the news about their baby girl to her Twitter page

Several photos that his 29-year-old wife has shared to her social media accounts feature the Olympian spending time with all of his children together.

The 39-year-old Alpine skiing champion already has an eight-year-old daughter, Neesyn Dacey, with an ex-girlfriend, Chanel Johnson, and a three-year-old son, Sam, with another former flame, Sara McKenna - and he has made headlines as much for his skills on the slopes as he has for his child custody disputes.

His custody battle with McKenna had been so bitter that he refuses to call their son Sam, instead opting for 'Nate'. Miller chose the name to honor his brother who died of a seizure at the age of 29 in 2013.

McKenna, a former Marine he met through a matchmaking service, fell pregnant with his child three months into their relationship and Miller said he did not want to raise the boy with her.

At seven months pregnant, McKenna moved from California to New York to attend Columbia University on the G.I. Bill, while he married Beck.

McKenna said she told him of her plans in a text message but he never responded.

But two weeks after Sam was born in February 2013, Miller filed for custody in California and she temporarily lost custody of him, McKenna recounted in an essay for Cosmopolitan.

In September 2013, a judge gave Miller full custody of Sam, calling McKenna's move to New York 'irresponsible' and 'irreprehensible', but she ultimately won back custody of her son.

The details of the custody deal finalized at the end of 2014 have not been made public.

'Neither of us got exactly what we wanted, but Sam got what he needed and that's what's most important to me,' McKenna, 28, said at the time.

Miller has also fought Dacey's mother, who has remarried and now goes by the name Chanel Pugh, for joint and physical custody of their daughter, as well as child support payments.

He and Beck regularly share images of his oldest two children across their social media pages, where they call Sam 'Nate'.

Miller and Beck, who met in 2012 just months after he began dating McKenna, were married in October 2012.

Their baby boy born last year was the first child for Beck.

In 2013, she suffered a miscarriage with Miller's child just a month before Sam was born.

Two years ago, after Morgan announced she was pregnant, McKenna wrote online:

'I hope he and his wife, Morgan, have a healthy and beautiful baby and grow with their new parental roles.

'I'm happy [Sam] will have another sibling. He is so loving and sweet, and will be an amazing big brother just like he is a great little brother.'

But she added that she was pursuing legal action against Beck, who had falsely suggested online that McKenna only fell pregnant with Miller's son after she fished a condom out of the trash.

He filed a lawsuit against his former sponsor Head USA Inc in a California court, who has threatened him with legal action if he returns to competitive skiing.

The skier wants to return to the slopes for the 2016/2017 World Cup and Championship season - sponsored by ski product manufacturer Bomber - in hopes of securing his family’s financial future.
