Congratulations to Empire star, Terrence Howard and his wife Mira Pak on the birth of their first child together on Monday, June 15, a son the couple named Qirin Love.

“He’s beautiful and strong and a whirlwind and my wife is so happy,” Howard told Access Hollywood exclusively. The Wayward Pines star added that the name has Chinese origins and means serenity and prosperity.

His newborn is also an uncle to Howard’s granddaughter Hazel and grandson Adrian.

This is the fourth child for Howard. He had daughter Aubrey (Adrian and Hazel’s mom), Hunter and Heaven with first wife Lori McCommas. He married Michelle Ghent in 2010, briefly for a year before divorcing in 2011.

Empire star Terrance Howard and his beautiful wife since 2013 Miranda are expecting a son later this year.

This will be the 4th child for the Oscar nominee who is starring in his first full time television role in the FOX musical drama about a hip hop mogul and his family.

Academy Award nominee Lee Daniels (The Butler, Precious) is the producer and executive director of the series which also stars Taraji P. Henson (Curious case of Benjamin Button, Person of Interest) and Courtney Love, two wonderful entertainers (both moms) who we’ve featured before.

The Howards announced the news of their first baby together last December and while on the red carpet promoting his show’s debut last Tuesday revealed the gender to E! News.

Howard has two daughters, 21-year old Aubrey and 17-year old Heaven with his first wife Lori McCommas. He is also grandad to Aubrey’s daughter Hazel. The Hustle and Flow actor and his second wife Michelle Ghent divorced in 2013 and had no children together.

Congrats!
