James Corden and wife Julia Carey welcomed their third child, a baby girl, earlier today. Harry Styles who hosted the show on Tuesday night announced the news while on the show.
On Tuesday, The Late Late Show host also took to Twitter to announce the exciting baby news. “Today we welcomed a beautiful baby daughter into the world,” Corden tweeted on Tuesday, December 12.
“Both she and her mother are doing great. We can’t stop smiling. Thank you Harry for stepping in to host the show at 2 and a half hours notice!” The Brit wit also thanked the singer for taking on his hosting duties last minute.
While Styles looked at ease in his hosting duties (which included interview guests Owen Wilson, Jane Krakowski and Joel Edgerton), Styles said he was given two hours warning before stepping on the Late Late Show‘s stage.
“I was sitting at home two hours ago in this suit, obviously,” he said. “I got the call Jules was going into labor so James naturally called the funniest man he knew… he obviously wasn’t available.”
Styles and Corden, 39, have frequently collaborated together on the late night show — including a week-long residency by Styles in May in which he appeared in each episode to perform songs off his self-titled debut album.
The former One Direction member also addressed his surprising kiss with Corden on Carpool Karaoke which had aired the night before, saying, “I would like to take the opportunity to announce that… we will also be having a baby!”
Corden and Carey tied the knot in September 2012. He opened up about their relationship during a Rolling Stone interview in August 2016. “I could never understand when I watch romantic comedies the notion that for some reason unattractive or heavy people don’t fall in love,” he said at the time.
“If they do, it’s in some odd, kooky, roundabout way — and it’s not. It’s exactly the same. I met my wife; she barely owned a television and worked for Save the Children. We sat down one night and we fell in love and that was it.”
The 39-year-old Late Late Show host and actress confirmed in July that the pair were expecting their third bundle of joy. They are already parents of son Max, 6, and daughter Carey, 3.
In September, Corden revealed the sex of the couple’s child to Extra’s Mario Lopez while appearing on the red carpet at the 69th Primetime Emmy Awards.
