Sarah Palin is a grandmother again!

The former Vice Presidential candidate's son Track and his wife Britta have reportedly welcomed a baby girl. The baby, named Kyla Grace Palin, arrived on Sunday. We love the middle name.

Track, 22, and Britta, 21, wed in a small ceremony in May. Last month, a friend leaked pictures of a pregnant Mrs. Palin surrounded by gifts after her baby shower. The couple never officially announced that they were expecting.

This is the second grandchild for Palin, whose oldest daughter, Bristol, gave birth to a baby boy named Tripp in 2008.

The Palin family aren't the only high-profile couple who have recently added to their families. Here's a look at which celebs have welcomed new babies.

Paul Stanley, lead singer and guitarist of the band KISS, welcomed his fourth child on Tuesday. The baby girl, named Emily Grace Stanley, weighed in at 7 pounds, 10 ounces, and is the third child for Paul and his wife Erin, who is an attorney. Stanley said, "Erin and I are once again blessed with the addition of Emily Grace to our family. I'm not sure she can sing, but her first screams let me know she's definitely Daddy's girl." Again, what a great middle name.

Actor Ethan Hawke and his wife Ryan have welcomed their second child. Though the baby was born a few weeks ago, the couple kept the arrival of the little girl, named Indiana, under wraps. Baby Indiana joins big sister Clementine, 3, as well as Maya, 13, and Levon, 9, who are Hawke's two children with ex-wife Uma Thurman. No word on a middle name yet, but we hope it's "Grace" too.

MTV reality stars Brad and Tori Fiorenza have welcomed a baby boy. Brad, who starred in 2004's "Real World: San Diego" met Tori in 2007 while the two appeared on "Real World/Road Rules Challenge: The Gauntlet 3," and the pair married in 2010. The baby, John Brady Fiorenza, arrived last Thursday, weighing 7 pounds, 12 ounces and measuring 21.5 inches. The proud father says that he and his wife, "expect big things from our son."

As these parents welcome their new bundles of joy, a few other celebs have announced that they're expecting.

"American Idol" winner Fantasia Barrino has announced that she's expecting her second child. She broke the news to a surprised audience during a concert in Jacksonville, Florida, saying "This child that I carry, God has given me this child and I don't have to hide it from none of y'all!" No word yet on who the father is or when Fantasia is due. The singer, 27, has a 9-year-old daughter from a previous relationship.

Actress Marla Sokoloff, best known for her roles in "The Practice" and "Full House," is expecting her first child. She and her husband, musician Alec Puro, announced that the baby will arrive early next year. Prior to ! tying th e knot with Puro in 2009, Sokoloff dated actor James Franco for five years after the two met on the set of "Whatever it Takes."

Essence Atkins, star of "Are We There Yet?" and "Deliver Us From Eva," and husband Jaime Mendez are expecting their first child on Christmas Day! The 39-year-old star says, "Our gratitude is overwhelming to have found each other and adding a baby to our happy home is truly a dream come true. We are both elated and humbled by this amazing gift."
