Laura Bennett, finalist on last season's Project Runway, has just given birth to a baby boy. It is her sixth child.
He was born at 10:46 a.m. on Friday and weighed 8 pounds. Bennett named the boy Finn.
Already a mom to four sons and a daughter (daughter Cleo, 18, from a previous marriage and sons Peik, 10, Truman, 7, Pierson, 4, and Larson, 3), Bennett, 43, discovered she was pregnant while filming the Bravo reality competition.
She didn't fuss about not having maternity clothes with her: "I'd wear these stretchy T-shirt dresses," she told PEOPLE in September.
Bennett's husband, who runs a design home in New York, was the last to know of Bennett's pregnancy.
Check out a video clip of Bennett's baby shower here.

Staying Model Thin This Thanksgiving
WebMD reports tips on staying thin this Thanksgiving holiday and not over-indulging in pumpkin pie and mashed potatoes. Even if you're looking to just kick back, relax and eat you can still do so in moderation.
Tips include monitoring portion sizes, resisting going back for seconds and opting for white meat over dark.
Fat-free chicken broth to baste the turkey and make gravy and use yogurt or fat-free sour cream for dips.
Most importantly, eat slower.
Eating slowly, putting your fork down between bites, and tasting each mouthful is one of the easiest ways to enjoy your meal and feel satisfied with one plate full of food, experts say. Choosing whole grains, fruits, vegetables, broth-based soups, salads, and other foods with lots of water and fiber add to the feeling of fullness.
Spread out the food and fun all day long.
