It's a Backstreet Boy for Howie Dorough and wife Leigh. The couple's son, James Hoke Dorough came into the world on May 6, at 2:30 p.m. The baby was not due until June, but decided to make his grand debut a little early, weighing in at 4.5 lbs. and 16¼" inches long. James's middle name will honor Howie's father who passed away from brain and lung cancer last year.
According to a statement released on the Backstreet Boys Web site, "Both Mommy and baby are doing great and Howie D is an ecstatic new daddy. They'd like to thank everyone for their well wishes!!"
Baby James is number three in the tradition of little boy Backstreet babies. Fellow bandmate Brian Littrell has a son, Baylee, 6, and former bandmate Kevin Richardson also has a son, Mason, 22 months.
Currently, the Backstreet Boys are recording their seventh studio album, slated for release later this year.
