Kandi Burruss of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" had her baby today with her husband Todd Tucker.

Their "bouncing baby boy" arrived at 8:42 a.m., weighing in at 7 lbs., 6 oz.

UPDATE: Kandi gave E! the name of her boy: Ace Wells Tucker.

"We named our beautiful baby boy Ace because I wanted something unique," she told E! News. "When he becomes school age, hopefully he won't have to worry about another person in the class having his name."

Burruss also has a 13-year-old daughter Riley from a previous relationship.

On the show, which is a few months behind, Burruss is very pregnant but appears to be doing well. She even shot a video at six months pregnant and hid it well.
