Dancing with the Stars alum Laila Ali and her husband, former NFL star Curtis Conway, have welcomed a baby boy.

Weighing 6.8 lbs. and measuring 19 inches, Curtis Muhammad Conway Jr. was born August 26.

"Mama and baby are resting," she writes on her Web site.

Check out Us' Babies of the Year.

She announced her pregnancy in Essence magazine in May.

"I don't know yet if we are having a boy or a girl, but I'm excited that I have a life inside me that my husband and I created," she said.

"I am 100 percent undeniably happy," she added. "I've never been able to say that before."

In May, she told Usmagazine.com she planned on "doing a natural home birth with no medication" and was using a midwife.

The hardest part of being pregnant: Putting down the weights.

"My husband has got on me a couple of times saying, 'You're not supposed to be doing that with those weights!'" the fitness fanatic said. "I'm like, 'Oh, OK.'"

Is her famous boxing father psyched to be a granddad?

"Of course," she told Us, "but I think he'll be more excited once the baby is actually here."

This is the first child for Ali and the fourth for Conway, who has twin sons, Kelton and Cameron, and a daughter Leilani.

They tied the knot in 2007.

    Munna...maybe, just maybe, she named the child after her husband and father's first names. How are you going to talk about her child's name? At least she didnt name her son no crazy mess like most celebs do (ex. Apple, Pilot Inspector, etc).

    Its a shameful moment for me being a Muslim, to hear such a name of a new born. The Name is neither Muslim Nor Christian. Its a strange and teasingful joke to me.
