Erica Mena and Safaree are the proud parents of a beautiful baby girl.

The Love & Hip Hop stars welcomed their first child together ā€” Erica's second ā€” on Monday (February 3). Proud dad Safaree announced the news on Instagram, captioning a photo of his daughter grabbing his finger: "These past 24 hrs have been an adventure to say the least!! Iā€™m a part of the #girldad club now šŸ™šŸ¾. Perfection is here ā¤ļø."

Just before his Instagram announcement, Safaree revealed that Erica was in labor, writing on Instagram Stories, "Sorry to everyone that came out to see in Rhode Island last night but as I was getting ready to leave my wife's water broke."

Prior to the arrival of their baby girl, Erica shared photos from her 9-month pregnancy photoshoot. "You are pregnant and you are powerful. You are bold and you are beautiful. Go forward in your boldness, in your beauty and in your contentedness," she captioned a series of photos that showed her in a brown sheer gown that clung to her protruding baby bump on Sunday (February 2). "Trust your body to birth and know that the collective power of women worldwide will be with you āœØšŸŒ¹ 9 months captured by the great @lolamelani."

In a second post, Erica revealed called their daughter a "rainbow baby," which is a child born after a miscarriage, stillbirth, or the death of an infant from natural causes.

As fans know, Safaree and Erica confirmed that they were expecting their first child back in October. "Wow, wow, it's a big deal! Very big deal. I didn't know I was capable of doing this," Safaree said while rubbing Erica's baby bump in their baby announcement video shared by VH1.

"I'm excited! I'm nervous. I'm in shock. I'm in disbelief. It's very surreal to me," he added. "It's like, I don't know what the hell to do but I know I'm going to be great at what I do because I'm great at everything."

Erica then revealed her thoughts on their little one joining her son King, saying, "He will be a great big brother. He wants to be the boss of somebody. He's the boss of Safaree, now he needs someone that's younger than him. So it will be perfect."
