Congrats to Joe and Barrett

Joe and Barrett are the greatest people I have met and I am so excited for them. I just had to share.

There's officially a new kid on the block: Former boy band singer and Dancing with the Stars contestant Joey McIntyre and his wife Barrett welcomed a son on Tuesday in L.A., his rep confirms exclusively to PEOPLE. "The family is happy and healthy," according to McIntyre's rep, who says the new parents are still deciding on a name. "Everyone's doing well and they're excited he made it here in time for Thanksgiving."The 7 lb. 12 oz. baby boy is the first child for the new father, who has nothing but admiration for his wife of four years. "My wife is a rock star!" McIntyre tells PEOPLE. McIntyre, 34, and his wife, 29, found out they were expanding their family on St. Patrick’s Day, and later announced it on his Web site. "Being an Irish guy that's a good luck charm! " McIntyre told PEOPLE in June.

Joey McIntyre and his wife Barrett have named their son Griffin Thomas McIntyre, PEOPLE has confirmed. The couple welcomed the new kid on the block Wednesday, but the former boybander was admittedly anxious when PEOPLE caught up with him Nov. 15 at the Cedars-Sinai Board of Governors annual Road to a Cure Gala in Beverly Hills. "I'm just blessed, you know, absolutely blessed and, you know, life is the biggest blessing of all and you know there's no end to it. Being a dad, I can't wait," McIntyre, 34, said.As for advice he and his wife, 29, are receiving, he added, "A lot of people just say, 'Listen, you know I could tell you a million different things, but you have to learn it on your own,' which makes a lot of sense." One thing they did on their own was a travel-themed nursery for young Griffin – but not too over the top, he described. "There's a picture of a plane, there's a picture of a train ... I like the sense of travel. ... I've had the fortune of traveling a lot, and then going around the world and learning different cultures and people, and I think if we all had the chance to do that, it would be a better world. So, I hope my son does that."
