"We are so blessed! Baby Axel was born January 1, 2019 at 12:22 AM," Paola announced Thursday on Instagram.

As part of Paola's announcement, she posted a sweet family photo on her Instagram account.

"What an amazing way to start the new year, while I was hearing the fireworks and people telling me 'happy new year,' I was just focused on meeting my baby boy," Paola captioned the picture.

"Our little miracle is so beautiful and calm. I feel so blessed and I can't believe I am a mom now! I'm ready to start this new adventure and to be the best mom for baby Axel. I'm so proud of my husband, he was there for me the entire time, I couldn't have done it without you."

Paola said the joy she is feeling as a new mom is "indescribable."

"I've never felt so happy in my life," she continued in her post on social media. "Axel has become my whole world and I'm so in love with him. Thank you all for supporting us and 'patiently' waiting to finally meet him! #babyaxel #russandpao #90dayfiance #2019baby."

Russ shared the same photo on his own Instagram page and opened up about becoming a first-time parent.

"What an amazing feeling to be overwhelmed with joy. We would like to introduce you to Axel Mayfield. He is already taking after his father and is such a cute, sweet, and calm little boy. Axel was born... measuring 22 inches in length, and weighing in at 7 lbs and 5 oz," Russ revealed.

"This has been the HAPPIEST NEW YEAR we have ever experienced. Momma and baby are doing so well! I cannot express enough how proud I am of Pao, she was such trooper bringing him into the world. Pao's bouncing back stronger than ever and Axel is rocking his eat, sleep, poop, repeat like a champ."

Russ also thanked fans for all of their "love, support, prayers, good vibes, and all the encouraging messages."

"It brings us so much joy knowing how much our baby boy is already adored," Russ concluding, before adding the following hashtags: "#babyaxel #russandpao #90dayfiance #happynewyear #2019baby."

The happy couple, who starred on Season 3 of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? on TLC -- which sadly featured them experiencing a miscarriage -- announced in August 2018 they had a baby boy on the way, just one month after publicly disclosing that Paola was pregnant with their first child.

Russ from Oklahoma met Paola, a model and former fashion designer, in her home country of Colombia while he was on a work assignment in the petroleum industry.
