Jewel and her bull-riding husband Ty Murray are the parents of a new baby son as of Monday evening.
Kase Towne Murray arrived weighing 7 pounds, 6 ounces at 7 p.m. Texas time, the couple announced on the singer-songwriter's website Tuesday.
"We are overcome with happiness," they said. "It really is as great as everyone told us it would be -- better even!"
Jewel had a scare in her hometown back in March when a volunteer firefighter's truck crashed into the passenger side of her car. After a trip to the hospital for tests, the mom-and-baby-to-be were said to be "doing fine."
