Baby Race 2013: Perez Hilton

It has certainly been a baby-filled two months for a couple of our gay and lesbian celebrities.

Director Ryan Murphy welcomed his first son on Christmas Eve, both Rosie O'Donnell and Elton John welcomed a new baby each to their families in early January, and Chely Wright announced that is expecting twin this summer.

Today, celebrity gossiper Perez Hilton revealed that earlier this month he welcomed his first child (and is on Out's 100 Most Eligible Bachelors list). He certainly kept the news under wraps for some time, considering he is known for breaking the news and gossip on various celebrities and their own family happenings. Congratulations to the new father! Below is a message he shared on his website:

"Dear Friends,

I want you to hear this directly from me, right here.

I am ready to announce that earlier this month I was blessed with the birth of my first child, a beautiful and healthy baby boy - with lots of hair on his tiny head!

My family is overjoyed at this newest and most cherished addition.

Thank YOU for welcoming PerezHilton.com into your homes, offices, classrooms, cell phones and wherever else you may read my five websites.

And thank you for welcoming ME into your lives!

I am so humbled to welcome this little man into my life. And I am honored and ready for the challenge of guiding him through his.

With love,
Perez"
