Ashlee Simpson and husband Pete Wentz have welcomed their first child, a boy.

Bronx Mowgli Wentz - who weighed 7 lbs, 11 oz, and was 20.5 inches long - was born Thursday night, a spokesperson for the couple confirms to Usmagazine.com.

"Proud new parents Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson-Wentz welcomed new son, Bronx Mowgli Wentz, late this evening," the rep tells Us. "Ashlee, Pete and baby Bronx are all healthy and happy, and thank everyone for their well wishes!"

Look back at Ashlee Simpson's baby bump.

Us Weekly first broke the news that Simpson, 24, and Wentz, 29, were expecting in April.

"Carrying a child is the most inspiring, emotional, amazing experience of my life," Simpson wrote on her MySpace page. "My weight and my pant size are the absolute last thing I am concerned about. I am only concerned with having a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby."

During her pregnancy, Wentz -- whom she wed in May -- doted on her, often fetching her No. 1 craving: green olives.

He said she wanted "green olives on everything! You always have to be ready."

See what other pregnant stars snacked on.

As her due date neared, Wentz said Simpson couldn't wait to give birth.

"She's excited, she's anxious... I think she wants it to be over," he recently said on Ryan Seacrest's KIIS-FM radio show. "She just wants to not be pregnant any more. She wants to have it because it's, like, a struggle to go up and down the stairs ... going out in public's insane."

(As for the baby's name, Bronx, Wentz said his goal was to make sure his kid would have a moniker that would work as either "a rock star or a senator." What do these famous baby names mean?)

No doubt Ashlee's sister Jessica Simpson is thrilled: In September, she said she couldn't wait to be an aunt.

Play Us' Guess the Simpson Sister quiz.

"I'm going to spoil the kid rotten, that's for sure," she said. "I think my sister's going to be pretty strict, actually, because she's been so good throughout her pregnancy."

    I think if she wants to name the baby that name then so be it. It's her baby she gave birth to it. The baby got a crazy name but oh well. That is not on us to judge her or her baby.
