Flipping Out star Jeff Lewis and his partner Gage Edward are officially parents to a baby girl.

Lewis and Edward welcomed a daughter Tuesday afternoon via surrogate.

"At 4:22PM today, I grew up," Lewis, 46, captioned an Instagram photo of himself kissing the little baby on her forehead. "Welcome Monroe Christine Lewis."

Lewis and Edward, who have been together for seven-and-a-half years, revealed in May they were expecting a child. The couple resorted to using a surrogate after multiple attempts at adoption failed, E! News reported.

Last week, Lewis posted a photo on social media of the baby's gorgeous nursery, which isn't a surprise considering he's an expert house flipper.

"All we need now is the baby. #40weeks #babycountdown #babywatch2016 #hurryupalready," Lewis captioned the picture, which featured adorable stuffed animals and statement artwork on the walls.

In an August interview with Access Hollywood Live, Lewis opened up about the idea of marriage.

"I just found out: My attorney said that he is now eligible for palimony because it's been seven-and-a-half years," Lewis said. "I'm on the hook anyway; I might as well get married."

All jokes aside, Lewis believes Edward -- who manages Lewis' business affairs -- is the right man for him.

"I've had several relationships, and I always feel like people try to change me, but he's kind of embraced the crazy... he is amused [by me]," the reality star revealed. "It's just a really nice relationship and a nice dynamic."

Flipping Out was renewed by Bravo for a ninth season, which premiered in July 2016.
