Giuliana & Bill Rancic became the proud parents of a 7-pound, 4-ounce baby boy named Edward late Wednesday, according to a tweet from the proud papa.

"The 'Duke' has landed!" Bill, 41, tweeted early Thursday. "Edward Duke Rancic was welcomed into the world last night at 7lbs 4oz. G & I feel blessed beyond words...We did it!"

As we previously reported, the reality TV stars were set to become parents for the first time via gestational surrogate in Colorado, where the surrogate mother lives.

The TV couple's path to parenthood has been a riveting one, as they tried In-vitro fertilization in vain, and suspended all plans to get pregnant during Giuliana's brave and victorious battle over breast cancer.

Congrats to the new parents!
