New Baby For Ex Boyband Star

Whether you know him from the boy band 98 Degrees, from "Dancing With The Stars" or from the MTV show "Newlyweds", Drew Lachey has stolen your heart in at least one way. The ex-band member and still current cutie is making news again, and this time for one very special reason, the birth of his new child. ABC?s "Dancing With The Stars" champion and ex-98 Degrees member Drew Lachey and his wife, Lea, are celebrating the arrival of their baby girl in Los Angeles.

The baby, who was born on Thursday, is the couple?s first child. They?ve named her Isabella, ?US Weekly? has reported. ?Mom, Dad and baby are all happy and healthy,? a spokesperson for the Lacheys has revealed. After the "Dancing With The Stars" contest, Drew revealed: In a couple of years my daughter will be cutting a rug around me. I`ll hold her hands, and she`ll be dancing on my feet. I`m looking forward to that."

He met Lea, who is a choreographer and dancer who joined 98 Degrees on tour, while they were in high school. 29-year-old Drew is the brother of ?Newlyweds? star Nick Lachey, who split from Jessica Simpson last year. As if the diaper-changing and sleepless nights won?t keep new daddy Drew busy enough, he?s also been revealed as the co-host of this year?s Miss USA pageant in Baltimore.
