Crack open the champagne, folks, supermodel
Heidi Klum
has finally given birth to her baby Seal.
After a weekend of rumours and false starts, proud daddy
Seal
has confirmed that Klum gave birth to her fourth child on Friday.
Seal claps
German-born Klum and hubby Seal welcomed wee baby girl
Lou Sulola Samuel
on Friday night (local time) in Los Angeles.
"It's difficult to imagine loving another child as much as you love your existing children," Seal said of the birth in a gushing statement.
"Anyone who has a family will tell you this. Where will one find that extra love? If you love your existing children with all of your heart, how then can one possibly find more heart with which to love another?"
He added: "The answer to this question came in the form of our fourth child and second daughter... From the moment she looked into both of our eyes it was endless love at first sight."
'Beautiful beyond words'
And in a message posted on her website, Klum added: "She is beautiful beyond words and we are happy that she chose us to watch her grow over the coming years."
Gossip website RadarOline broke the news of Klum's ciabatta-popping last week, reporting that she gave birth at 1pm on Friday - one hour after she was induced.
The news prompted a wave of fevered congratulations and well wishes. But it was short-lived. Reps for the pair were quick to quash the report and claimed Klum was actually sat at home, twiddling her thumbs, eating hot curries, and waiting for her contractions to kick in.
Heidi and Seal, who wed in 2005, have two sons together -
Henry
, 4, and
Johan
, 3 - together, and the model has a five-year-old daughter
Leni
from a previous relationship with Italian businessman
Flavio Briatore
.
News of the new arrival follows reports that Klum has filed a petition to legally take on her hubby's last name, Samuel.

Robbie's wobbler
Comebacks are always a bit dicey, as
Robbie Williams
recently discovered.
Pumped up for his triumphant return to the pop pen on British TV show
The X Factor
over the weekend, the Robster came a right cropper.
Tongues have been wagging after Rob gave a rather erratic comeback performance on the talent show, looking decidedly wild-eyed, sweating profusely and bursting into a series of "ungainly dance moves which saw him swaying, spinning and stamping," as Britain’s
so eloquently puts it.
His appearance while belting out new tune
Bodies
promoted talk on internet forums, with many fans worried that he looked "trashed" on the show and wasn't himself.
"Compared to the other contestants, he was a joke," one disgruntled fan said.
“Robbie looked high! His eyes were wide and very alert looking, his pupils were dancing. Notice the dilated eyes?” said another.
And tabloid the
Daily Mirror
stuck the knife in, too, calling his song "forgettable", adding that he "didn't look like the superstar he used to be".
But you can wave away your concerns, says Rob. His nervous disposition was catalysed by a stage blunder which almost brought the curtains down on his gig before it had even begun.
Williams, making his first live UK appearance in three years, was left flustered after a stage door wouldn't open.
In a rambling entry on his blog, Rob said: "I wasn't as nervous as I thought I was going to be... until the friggin sliding door wouldn't open.
"I don't know if you saw but I had to wedge it open myself. That wasn't part of the show that was pure brute strength.
"So there's a bad start. I had a whole pose planned and what not. But that went out of the window."
The former Take That star also revealed he had a bit of a 'wheel-wobble' and was worried he might forget the lyrics to the song in front of 14.6 million viewers.
“Then the mouth opened and by the grace of the big man himself the right words fell out......Oh praise be! I'm in!,” he said.
Bumpy start aside, Williams concluded that he thought the performance felt "electric", adding, "So happy right now...So pleased...I think the boy's back."
But then it all went a bit Pete Tong as he exited the TV studio. His driver accidentally ran over a young photographer's legs as he tried to take snaps of the star.

The young snapper was trapped under the chauffeur-driven car, and had to be yanked from underneath by security guards and whisked off to hospital.
Witnesses say Williams was crying inside the car after the accident, before being carted off to sanctuary by his people. Cops later arrived at the scene. Thankfully, the snapper's injures were only minor.

What do you make of his performance?
Oh Pam
What in the name of bejesus are you wearing, love? Clap your eyes on
the big-fronted star wore at the Hollywood Style Awards.
Looks like she's draped herself in recycled toilet roll. Fashion fail.
A big hunk o' hair
Elvis Presley
fans yearning to own a memento straight off the iconic signer's head are in luck.
An auction house in Chicago is putting what's believed to be a clump of the late singer's hair on the block, together with some of his clothes, sweat-stained scarves and other bits and bobs.
See hair
The star's stray locks may have been nabbed after his Army-issue crewcut in 1958.
No. Just no.
