Howie Dorough now has two little Backstreet Boys at home! The boy bander, 39, and his wife Leigh Boniello Dorough, 38, welcomed another bundle of joy on Feb. 16!

“My beautiful wife Leigh and I are so proud to welcome our son to the world,” the singer tells People.

But how says that he and his wife, who have been married for five years, weren’t expecting their little man to arrive so soon! “Holden surprised us by arriving three days ahead of schedule at 6:37 a.m., [weighing in] at 6 lbs., 15 oz. and 20 inches long,” he adds.

“Holden is healthy and we couldn’t be happier,” he gushes. “Leigh is such an incredible woman and mother, and our son [James Hoke, 3½] is so excited to have a baby brother. I feel so lucky to have such an amazing family.”

Howie & Leigh Tie The Knot In December Ceremony

Leigh and Howie tied the knot in December 2007 in Howie’s hometown of Orlando, Fla. They welcomed their first son James Hoke in May, just a few weeks early. The middle name Hoke is in honor of Howie’s father Hoke, who died after battling cancer.

““Both Mommy and baby are doing great and Howie D is an ecstatic new daddy. They’d like to thank everyone for their well wishes!!” An announcement on the Backstreet Boys website read at the time.

Congrats to the happy family! What do YOU think of Howie and Leigh having another baby HollyMoms?

Simon Cowell’s American Idol replacement needs to be found fast! But Howie says he’s no match for cranky Cowell — he’s much more like kooky former judge Paula!

Simon Cowell’s American Idol seat is one of the most coveted jobs in Hollywood these days, but Howie Dorough, for one, doesn’t want the job: he could never be as tough as the British judge and considers himself to be more of a Paula Abdul-type!

“Simon’s shoes are pretty hard to fill, but I respect his honesty,” the 36-year-old Backstreet Boys singer told HollywoodLife.com exclusively at the Lupus LA Orange Ball May 6. “I respect the way he is very witty and wordy, but I don’t think I’m there. I don’t think I’d bring much comedy or excitement to the show. But as for Paula’s shoes…maybe so!” he laughed.

Sorry, Howie — that position has already been filled by Ellen DeGeneres! Play again.

As it turns out, the singer almost signed on to appear on a different reality show — ABC’s Dancing With the Stars.

“I actually got asked to do last season but unfortunately didn’t have the time,” he told us. “We were on tour and everything, but I think it’s a great show and I’m a big fan. My wife watches it all the time religiously, so I’ve really grown to like it.”

Ironically, it seems that a Backstreet Boy-backup was chosen for the show’s ninth season — band member Nick Carter’s baby bro, Aaron, was a contestant!
