The birth was natural and the baby is said to be 'really pretty'
Mr Beatie, who has a beard, told chat show host Oprah Winfrey it had been his dream to one day have a child.
"I opted not to do anything with my reproductive organs because I wanted to have a child one day," he said.

Mr Beatie's obstetrician, Dr Kimberly James, told Oprah Winfrey in April: "This baby is totally healthy. This is what I consider a normal pregnancy."
