Kushner shared an image of the couple’s new baby on Instagram, with the caption, "welcome to the world".
Kloss announced that the couple were expecting a baby back in November, when she shared a video of her stomach on her Instagram story.
"Good morning, hello baby," the model said in the clip.
Kloss and Kushner met in 2012 through mutual friends and made their first public appearance together the same year at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. The couple married in 2018.
Kushner’s brother Jared is married to Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka Trump.
Kloss is a vocal supporter of the Democratic party and has hinted in the past at tensions with her in-laws.
In Janunary this year, the model tweeted condemning the siege of the US Capitol by a mob of Trump supporters following Joe Biden’s presidential win..
Kloss wrote: "Accepting the results of a legitimate democratic election is patriotic. Refusing to do so and inciting violence is anti-American."
The star’s tweet received over 20,000 likes and one Twitter user responded by saying: “Tell your sister in law and brother law”.
Kloss replied: “I’ve tried".

The 28-year-old has spoken openly about having married into a family whose values are at odds with her own.
Last year, a contestant on Project Runway, which Kloss hosts, alluded to the model’s relationship to the Kushner family.
Later addressing the uncomfortable moment, Kloss told Andy Cohen on talk show Watch What Happens Live: “Andy, I’m sure I’m not the only person in this country who does not necessarily agree with their family on politics.”
The model went on to say: "I met my man in 2012, when I was 19 years old. It was 2012, it was a different world, and my man and I have been through a lot together.
“I’m so proud that he’s my partner; it’s not been easy, but it’s worth it, and I would make that same decision a million times again.”
