Susan and Robert Downey Jr. welcomed a baby into their lives on Tuesday.

Susan, 38, gave birth in Los Angeles to the couple’s first child, a son. The couple have named their 7 lb., 5 oz. baby boy Exton Elias Downey and he joins the Iron Man star’s 18 year-old son Indio, from his first marriage to Deborah Falconer.

“Everyone is healthy and they couldn’t be happier,” a friend of the couple tells People magazine.

Although Robert told Jay Leno in December the couple was expecting a boy, he had expressed his desire for a baby girl earlier this year:

“I think we should probably try to have a girl because I don’t want another male entity to have to compete,” he said during the Due Date promo tour in August. “I don’t want Indio to feel there’s another boy in my life.”

Although he did get another son, I imagine the actor is thrilled to have a healthy child and a beautiful newborn in his life.
