Johnny Knoxville has a new son.

The 'Jackass' star - who already has a teenage daughter, Madison, with his ex-wife, Melanie Clapp, who he divorced in 2007 - and his girlfriend Naomi Nelson are overjoyed at the arrival of their baby who was born on Sunday night (20.12.09) in Los Angeles.

They have named their son Rocko Akira Clapp and the tot weighed in at 8lbs. Both mother and baby are said to be doing well.

Johnny - whose real name is Philip John Clapp - broke the news in August that he and his girlfriend were expecting their first child together, and that he was "excited as hell" to meet his new baby.

Writing on his blog, he said: "Naomi and I have been together a few years now and felt it was time to start reproducing if you know what I mean. Anyway, we are excited as all hell, and can't wait until the little booger gets here."

Prior to son Rocko's arrival, Johnny wrote on his blog: "My daughter Madison has already started becoming a big sister too and is helping pick out clothes, strollers and beds for her new little sister or brother."
