HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Constantine Maroulis has become a father for the first time.
The American Idol alum and his girlfriend, actress-dancer Angel Reed, welcomed a baby girl Thursday night, according to People magazine.
"Sometimes Christmas comes early and we’re so lucky to get the greatest gift a few days early," Maroulis told the mag. "Angel and I are thrilled to welcome our perfect baby girl into the world today. Mom and baby are healthy and I couldn’t be more excited to ring in 2011 this way."
Daughter Malena James was born at 11:06 p.m. She weighed in at 6 pounds, 11 ounces and measured 19 inches long.
Maroulis, 35, and Reed, 29, met last year while starring together in the Broadway musical Rock of Ages.
