Congratulations to former Glee star Matthew Morrison and his wife, Renee Peunte… the couple welcomed their first child together, a baby boy.

They chose a very unique name for their new addition: Revel James.

Mom Renee posted a sweet pic of baby Revel, writing: “I’m in Revel Heaven… my heaven on earth… to give you life, to hold you in my arms, to comfort you, to feed you from my body.. I can’t begin to express my immeasurable gratitude for being the one you chose as your Mama! My Revel James Makai Morrison, I promise to cherish you, to constantly remind you that you are worthy of love and belonging, to teach you compassion and kindness.”

She continued: “I will respect you and go through every moment with understanding and patience.. I promise to love you unconditionally for ever and ever my little angel baby.. my squeaks.. I see so much of your Papa in you already.. I feel the calm I once felt inside of me.. I cry from the overwhelming joy of finally being able to see your face that is perfection! My little wiggle worm… I hold my belly even now with sweet reminiscence.. I am so proud to finally share you with the world. Here he is ladies & gentleman… Our Revel James!””

Revel is short for Revelin, a name of English origin, meaning “pride, rebellion.”
