"I'm so excited to finally see my little angel -– and man, does she have lungs on her," says Bennett. 20. "I guess she's gearing up to be the next American Idol."

Egypt Bennett was born at 3:36 p.m. and weighed in at 5 lbs., 15 oz. She is the Bennett's first child.

"Paris's mother Jamecia Bennett and her family is filled with excitement and welcomes their bundle of joy," says her rep in a statement.
