“Mom and baby Mateo are both healthy and doing great. And big sister Emma is completely in love with her new little brother. Thank you God for this beautiful blessing and thank you all for keeping us in your prayers last week,” the post continued.

Benito’s on-air coworkers couldn’t stop gushing over the newborn.

“Oh, Matteo’s so cute!” one co-anchor said. “Very adorable. That is a good looking family.”
