A representative for the 66-year-old singer confirmed that Della Rose was born early Wednesday morning in New York. The couple married during a surprise ceremony on July 4 at Joel’s home on Long Island.

This is his first child with the 33-year-old Alexis. He has another daughter with previous wife Christie Brinkley.
