Joe tweeted the exciting news on Monday in a message for his 872,000 followers that read, “I have a son,” and today he shared the first photo of the family’s new addition. He also shared that both mommy and baby are doing well after the delivery.

“Hey y’alls. Say hi to my son Remington Joseph Gatto. Or as we call him, Remo. Thanks for all your thoughts,” he said.

If that didn’t melt your heart into a deep puddle of sap, he also shared this Instagram photo, with a message for his son that said, “Hold on tight buddy, it’s gonna be a hell of a ride.”

The couple first announced their pregnancy back in February alongside a photo of their daughter, Milana, playing tea party with her baby doll, her stuffed animal dog, and the family’s furry friends. He captioned the adorable image, “Make room girls! Baby brother Gatto will be crashing our tea party this summer #ahumannotapuppy #babynumber2.”

Many fans of the truTV series suggested Joe name the baby “Larry,” so we’ll give them a few minutes to take this in.

Impractical Jokers airs on Thursday nights at 10 p.m. EST on truTV.
