N-Dubz star Dappy has welcomed his second child, a baby named Milo.
A statement for the artist - real name Costas Dinos Contostavlos - said: 'Dappy and his girlfriend Kaye Vassell are happy to announce the birth of their second child, a baby boy named Milo, born on 10th December 2010.
'Mother and baby are doing well and Dappy is very proud.
'Milo was born this morning weighing nine and a half pounds. He joins two year old brother Gino.'
The 23-year-old performed with his N-Dubz band mates Tulisa and Fazer at the Royal Variety Performance at the London Palladium last night.
The couple - who first got together three years ago - broke up earlier this year when Miss Vassell tired of her boyfriend's wandering eye.
But a spokesperson confirmed to the Mail Online today that they are very much together and 'delighted.'
The singer insisted recently that he has turned over a new leaf: 'This is the new Dappy, the family man - so long to all of the bad Dappy you've heard about,' he said.'
Only a few months ago Dappy was boasting that despite one child with 19-year-old Kaye and another on the way, he was still on the market.
'I've got Kaye, obviously - my babymum. I see it as being single to mingle. Straight up. Dappy's got a girlfriend, but he's still single to mingle,' he told The Sun earlier this year.
'It just works. Kaye is my wife. I kiss her on the lips, but whatever happens, happens.'
'I love my girlfriend and I love my baby, but our fans have got to know that we're available to them. We can't be tied down. We're not tied down.'

Miss Vassell dumped the singer in April claiming he was cheating on her.
She said at the time: 'He said he didn't want it to come out in public that he had a girlfriend and a baby as it would affect his career,' she told the Sun.
'He said it was important that girls thought he was single. He didn't tell me the reason he kept me secret for years was so he could see other girls.'

Kaye said: 'He's hurt me beyond belief, so I'm walking away. Dappy just isn't mature enough to have a proper relationship.
'He's confessed to six affairs, but I get messages every day from girls who say they've slept with him. I've kept quiet but Dappy's shown me no respect.
'He's the father of my son, but he behaves like a child, not a man.'
