Speaking Of Babies.....

Christina Aguilera and Jordan Bratman welcomed a baby boy on Saturday at 10:05 p.m., PEOPLE has confirmed exclusively.

This is the first child for the 27-year-old singer and her music executive husband.

"Christina and Jordan are proud to announce the birth of theirson Max Liron Bratman. He is a beautiful, healthy baby boy!" a rep forthe couple tells PEOPLE. "Mom is resting and doing well!"

Despite various media reports that Aguilera had her baby onFriday, Max – 6 lbs., 2 oz. and 20.5 inches – arrived late on Saturdaynight in L.A.

Although Aguilera didn't announcegender of her baby while she was pregnant, she celebrated the bundle ofjoy's pending arrival with a blue-themed baby shower in November.

The singer, who was mum on her pregnancy for months despite rumors and a visible bump, officially confirmed she was expecting in November – eight weeks after Paris Hilton prematurely spilled the beansat the LAX nightclub in Las Vegas. "Congratulations to the mostbeautiful pregnant woman in the world. You're gorgeous," Hiltonannounced to a crowded room, stunning Aguilera and Bratman.

Later in November, Aguilera bared her growing belly on the cover of Marie Claire.In the article, she revealed that although she'd wanted to have a baby,it happened sooner than she'd expected, following a visit from Bratmanwhile she was on tour last April.

"You've heard it takes some time – except with PowerEgg and Super Sperm here," she said. "I'm like, Oh my God, can youbelieve it just happened?"

Aguilera also addressed her silence on the matter inthe earlier stages of her pregnancy, telling the magazine, "Because Ihadn't said anything, people thought I was trying to keep it this big,bad secret, and that's not the case at all. I just wasn't commenting.I'm not being like, 'Hey, everybody, I'm pregnant!' I'm not that girl."

Married to Bratman since November 2005, Aguilera had babies on her mind back in July 2006, when she said on Britain's GMTVmorning show, "In five years' time I'd probably like to start thinkingabout a child." Now, she's gotten her wish – just a little bit earlierthan she expected.
