Ciara and Russell Wilson have announced the birth of their second child, a son named Win.

On Friday, the I Bet singer shared a video of herself holding the infant while singing "Happy Birthday" in the hospital delivery room shortly after giving birth.

“Happy birthday sunshine,” the mother-of-three, who is wearing a sparkly black face mask, can be heard telling the newborn.

Ciara, 34, captioned the clip: “Happy Birthday WIN!!! Mommy and Daddy Love You! Win Harrison Wilson,” adding that the baby weighed 8lb 1oz.

Wilson, 31, also announced the birth of the couple’s second child on social media, sharing a photo of himself, Ciara and the baby with the same caption.

The couple are also parents to three-year-old daughter Sierra Princess, while Ciara has a six-year-old son named Future from a previous relationship.

Ciara first announced she and Wilson were expecting another child in January when she shared a photo of herself with her growing stomach on Instagram.

“Number three,” the singer had captioned the photo, taken in Turks and Caicos Islands.

The couple’s announcement prompted an outpouring of congratulations from other celebrities, including Halle Berry, Vanessa Bryant and Janelle Monae.

“He’s absolutely perfect, just like his mom! Welcome to the world baby Win!!” Berry wrote.

Monae commented: “Just BEAUTIFUL HIIII WIN congrats my love!!!”

The NFL player’s team, the Seattle Seahawks, also offered its well-wishes, tweeting: “Welcome to the world, Win Harrison Wilson!”
