Meghan Trainor and Daryl Sabara officially have a family of four. The “Mother” singer, 29, and the Spy Kids star, 31, welcomed their second baby boy on Saturday, July 1, Trainor confirmed in an Instagram post. She shared a series of images of their newborn son, Barry Bruce Trainor, including him being held by family members and her in her hospital room before going in for her c-section.
“On July 1st (the 7th anniversary of our first date) we welcomed Barry Bruce Trainor into the world 🐻💙,” Trainor captioned the post.
“He was a big boy at 8lbs 7oz…and sideways (transverse), but we had an amazing, successful c-section, and I finally got my skin-to-skin time! Thank you to all of the incredible doctors and nurses who took such great care of us ❤️.”
The comments were filled with congratulatory remarks, including one from actress Chrissy Metz who wrote, “Awww, congratulations!!!!! ✨❤️🎉.”
Mandy Moore also wrote a sweet message to the family: “Go, Mama!! And welcome to the party, Barry!! What a lucky dude!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️.”
The new arrival joins the couple’s son Riley, 2, whom Sabara recently told PEOPLE is excited to be a big brother.
He’s “so ready to have a permanent friend,” he shared in June.
“He loves pointing to Meghan’s stomach and saying ‘baby’ and kissing her belly. So it’s a lot cuter than we ever thought,” Sabara said.
Sabara also shared that Trainor — who experienced gestational diabetes in her first pregnancy — was “doing well” and didn’t get the same condition this time around.” She is a trooper,” said the actor. “The number of things that she does pregnant, and just in general, I mean she’s a superwoman. I just am in awe of her.”
Speaking with PEOPLE in April, Trainor said she and Sabara can’t wait for Riley to have a sibling.
“I look at my husband and go, ‘We are so lucky,'” said Trainor. “I’m the best version of me. Each kid’s going to bring a new version of me that I think is going to be badass — so I need four, at least!”
