Jennifer Lahmers is officially a mom!

Baby Ethan arrived at 11:30 p.m., weighing 6 lbs., 3 oz. This is also the first child for Keller, an emergency room doctor in Burbank, California.

Lahmers, who joined the team at Extra in September 2019 for season 26, announced the exciting news alongside photos of the couple with their newborn baby boy.

"He entered the world in dramatic fashion," Lahmers tells PEOPLE. "We went in for an induction that day and wound up delivering him via emergency C-Section because the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck causing his heart rate to plummet. I'd like to thank all the doctors and nurses at Cedar Sinai for working so quickly to deliver our little angel safely.
