Former American Idol contestant Paris Bennett delivered a baby girl today in Minneapolis.

The new mom who is 20-year-old and was a season five contestant was in labor for five hours before giving birth at 3:36 PM (CST) to a 5 pounds 15 ounces little girl. She named her new bundle of joy Egypt.

Paris says:

“I’m so excited to finally see my little angel and man does she have lungs on her I guess she’s gearing up to be the next American Idol.”

Paris’ rep said: “The proud first time mother is doing well and recovering. Paris’ mother Jamecia Bennett and her family is filled with excitement and welcomes their bundle of joy.”

Her first Christmas CD, “A Royal Christmas” will be released on October 14.

Congrats !
