A.J. McLean and his wife Rochelle Karidis welcomed a baby girl, Ava Jaymes McLean on Tuesday (Nov. 27)

“Rochelle and I are thrilled to officially announce the birth of our baby monkee, Ava Jaymes McLean,” the Backstreet Boys singer told via his website. “She arrived at 4:51 am on Nov. 27 weighing 7 pounds and 7 ounces. We are so in love with our bundle of joy and happy to have started our family now.”

This is the first child for the couple.

McLean proposed to his longtime girlfriend Karidis in January 2010 during a live concert in Las Vegas; the pair tied the knot in December 2011 at the Beverly Hills Hotel.
