( CNN ) -- Do n't be surprised if Fergie is singing `` Sweet Child O ' Mine '' today . The Black Eyed Peas star gave birth to a boy in Los Angeles on Thursday , a rep confirms to CNN . She and her husband , actor Josh Duhamel , named their new addition Axl Jack . Little Axl weighed in at 7 pounds and 10 ounces and was delivered via C-section . He is the first child for both parents . `` Everyone is fine , everything is well . All good in Hollywood , '' the rep tells CNN . Growing their family is `` something that we 've wanted for a very long time , '' Duhamel , 40 , told E ! in May . `` We 're both over the moon about it . '' As far as the name , it sounds as if Axl was indeed inspired by rock , and perhaps Guns N ' Roses front man Axl Rose . `` [ The name is ] kind of traditional , kind of not , '' Duhamel explained to People magazine , noting that his 38-year-old wife `` is a little rock and roll , so she 's a little bit more daring in that department than I am . '' Nevertheless , Axl Jack is `` a name that we both really love , and I think will suit this child . '' Although Axl is the couple 's first human child , the newborn does have a furry sibling waiting for him to come home . The pair 's dog , Zoe , has already been prepped by the Dog Whisperer himself , Cesar Millan , for the baby 's homecoming .
