Leighton Meester and Adam Brody, your respective
Gossip Girl and
O.C. teen drama obsessions, have welcomed their second child into the world — an announcement Brody made over the video game live streaming site Twitch (we’re just going to go ahead and assume that he at least put in a phone call or two to the grandparents first). "I have a new kid. Since last I played, I have a new kid," said Brody during a streaming session of
The Fun Time Boys Game Night Spectacular. "I have a boy, and he's a dream. He's a dream boy."The new baby, who is sure to become well-versed in the trivia and gaming worlds, joins big sister Arlo Day, born to Meester and Brody back in 2015, a year after their 2014 nuptials.

Instead of documenting her life at home, her social media accounts are mostly focused on her work on set and her activism. Meester is a longtime supporter of the organization Feeding America — even more so since the onset of the pandemic has decreased people’s access to healthy, affordable food.
Still, we’re crossing our fingers for the possibility of a forthcoming baby snap.[video_embed id='2032100']Before you go: Lily Allen and David Harbour get married in Las Vegas[/video_embed]
