"Today was a reminder that even the best laid plans can completely go up in smoke, but as long as we have a healthy mommy and healthy baby, in the end, nothing else matters," added Sheremet, 37. "Thank you to everyone for the outpouring of love and well wishes. We love you all."

The cookbook author later took to Instagram to share photos of the adorable newborn, as well as of him and his "hero" wife.

"If the way you entered into this world is any indication of the life we will share, V and I are in for a wild ride," he wrote in the caption.

As RadarOnline.com readers know, Rimes, 35, and Sheremet called it quits in 2010 after eight years of marriage and two very messy cheating scandals. The next year, the "I Need You" singer married actor Eddie Cibrian, who also left his longtime wife for Rimes. The two have no children together, though Cibrian, 45, is a father to two kids from his marriage to Brandi Glanville.
