Former U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner became a first-time father yesterday after his wife gave birth to 7-pound boy, the New York Post reported.
Weiner, who resigned from his Queens congressional seat earlier this year after a texting scandal, announced the birth of Jordan Zain Weiner in an e-mail to friends, calling his son a “sparkling wonder,” the Post said.
“Did I mention his mom is amazing?” Weiner said in the e-mail, referring to Huma Abedin, a top aide to U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. “We love you for welcoming him.”
Jordan, who weighed 7 pounds, 5.8 ounces at birth, is the first child for Weiner, 47, and Abedin, 36.
