Rocker James Durbin is a dad again.

The "American Idol" alum and his wife, Heidi, welcomed their second child together on Friday.

Durbin took to social media leading up to the birth, writing, "At the hospital #babyupdate" and later tweeting, "Hallelujah."

People confirmed that the couple named their daughter, Kinzee Cruz Durbin.

"Nothing compares to holding your brand new baby. She's gonna be worth every sleepless night," they told People in a statement. "We're so thankful to have her."

They already have a 5-year-old son named Hunter.

With "Celebrate," James Durbin hopes to "serenade" his audience 04:04

Earlier this year, Durbin released his new album called "Celebrate." For the set, Durbin composed some 60 tracks and teamed up with several writers and producers to hammer out material before recording the album in Los Angeles.

"We'd sit down for an hour or so and just get to know each other and talk about our interests and what we like to write about," Durbin told CBS News. "We'll just try to dig each other up a little bit and find things that have happened in our past and stuff that we've never written about. So it was really fun."
