Jim Carrey, the 47-year-old funnyman is now a grandfather.
His daughter Jane, 22, gave birth to her first baby — a son named Jackson Riley Santana — early on Friday morning, according to a media release.
The child was born in an unnamed Los Angeles hospital weighing 7 pounds and 11 ounces.
Besides the first name of “Jackson” the boy will have some serious musical advantages. Jane is a singer-songwriter for the alternative-rock The Jane Carrey Band and the father is Alex Santana, the lead singer of the metal band Blood Money. The two were married just last November.
Carrey has expressed delight about the new development. His website features this tidbit in the biography section.
“He eagerly awaits the next role of his life…Grandpa.”
He later twittered a photo of his new grandson.
“Jackson Riley Santana, My Grandson, Born today! This is what 7lbs.11oz. of Calfornia dynomite looks like!”
he tweeted.
Jim’s girlfriend Jenny McCarthy has dubbed herself an honorary grandmother.
She wrote on her Twitter:
‘Yes, I’m a grandma! Beautiful healthy baby boy. Dr jay Gordon is the paediatrician. Thank god! Jackson is in great hands.’
Ahead of the birth, Jane said she was relieved she was having a boy because she has always felt more comfortable around males.
She told People magazine:
“I’m excited about it because I never really got along with girls growing up…I was a little afraid that if it was a girl that she would not like me, you know? So I’m very happy about the boy.”
Jane’s mother is Jim’s ex-wife Melissa Womer. They were divorced in 1995.
