AceShowbiz - Singer/songwriter Ben Haggard is a new dad after his girlfriend Jeyda Beyzade underwent a nightmare delivery.
She experienced complications as she went into labour late last month, but both mother and son came out of the drama well.
The couple welcomed Liam James on 29 June, and Haggard, the son of late country music legend Merle Haggard, shared the news on Instagram over the weekend.
Under a black-and-white shot of father and son, he wrote: "Our lives changed for the better yesterday.
Beyzade took to Facebook to open up about her labour, calling it "one of the hardest but yet most rewarding (experiences) in my life."
She spent 35 hours in natural labour before she needed an epidural. They then suffered a side affect from the drugs she had been given and had to be rushed into surgery for an emergency C-section, during which she feared she was dying.
"I remember thinking, 'Ben's going to be on his own with this baby I'll never get to hold or see,'" she writes, revealing the sound of her baby crying and her boyfriend's voice snapped her back to life.
"I really believe that the love I heard from him and the love I have for my baby boy pulled me through," she adds.
"This has been the largest event in our lives, good and bad...," she tells followers, "the angels were with us and I am so glad I can be here to love Ben and baby Liam - forever."
