Cleveland Cavaliers star J.R. Smith may not have won the NBA finals this year but he certainly is winning at life. 

The basketball star took to Instagram on Thursday to share the wonderful news that he and his wife, Shirley Smith, have welcomed their third child together.

“She’s here!!!! #BabyDenver welcome to the world beautiful!!!,” he wrote. 

The New Jersey native and his Mrs. tied the knot in 2016 and are already proud parents of daughters, Demi and Dakota–who was born 5-months prematurely in January 2017, weighing only 1 pound at birth. 32-year-old Smith also has another daughter, Peyton, from a previous relationship.

J.R. announced that he and Shirley were expecting baby #3 together in December via Twitter and the two had a gender reveal in February, which was orchestrated by Savannah James, wife of Smith’s teammate, LeBron.
