With the help of PEOPLE, Liles announced the birth of their daughter, Rayni Bell Liles, born on June 8, weighing in at 8 lbs., 8oz.
“Everything went smoothly and our doctor was amazing,” Liles told the publication. “We feel so blessed and excited to start this next chapter. I admire my wife so much. She is such an amazing mom! I’m a lucky man.”
Jett, pictured above with little Rayni, has already proved he’s more than ready to take on his new role of big brother!
“He brought Rayni a new little lamb stuffed animal and she gave him a new hockey helmet! He didn’t want to let anyone else hold her,” Liles said.
She is already a daddy’s girl, cuddling up to Liles in the sweet photo below.
Welcome to the world, Rayni Bell, and congratulations to Jett, Jenna, and Stephen!
