Josh Lucas is about to experience the joys (and terrors) of parenthood. The actor and his wife Jessica have now welcomed their very first child — a son — into the world, a rep confirms to Hollywood.com. \

The little bundle named Noah Rev Maurer was born Friday in New York City and weighed in at 9 lbs., 4 oz. The happy couple revealed they had a baby on the way after quietly tying the knot in New York City's Conservatory Garden last March.

Though you may not know Lucas by name, you should definitely recognize his face as Reese Witherspoon's hunky, Southern husband in the popular rom-com Sweet Home Alabama. He also most recently appeared on The Firm, while his wife is a writer.

Congratulations to the new parents — and good luck!
