"With love we welcome our son, Joseph Frederick Kushner," she tweeted.

Baby Joseph was named after his parents' paternal grandfathers, who the new mum described as "master builders of their generation and inspiring patriarchs of their families.""

Jared's father, Joseph, was a rock. His indomitable spirit, his sense of family, and his work ethic are the values we hope to hand down to our son," she wrote.

"My grandfather, Frederick, was a builder not just of tens of thousands of homes throughout this city, but of a tight knit family that honours to this day the traditions he established. "Both men set the standards that have been passed down through the generations and which we hope to impart upon Joseph and Arabella. They created a legacy for our family that inspires our careers as well as our love and respect for one another. "We are honoured to name our son after these two distinguished men. We feel so blessed with the newest member of the family!"
