She also shared the news on Twitter, declaring, "Thanksgiving comes early!"

The baby boy joins older brother Felix, who was born in March 2011.

"Like Felix, Magnus was born via gestational surrogate," Banks, 38, wrote. "This experience has exceeded all expectations, taught us a great deal about generosity and gratitude, and established a relationship that will last a lifetime. I am also so very thankful to our family and friends for their support throughout this process, as well as the Center for Surrogate Parenting for helping make all this possible."

She added, "I now turn my attention to managing two boys under two. For which I am thankful. And all their poop. For which I am less thankful. Wish me luck."
