Congratulations are in order for longtime partners Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes!

The couple welcomed their second daughter, Amada Lee, on April 29, 2016 at 8:03 a.m. in Santa Monica, California, reports PEOPLE.

Amada's big sister, Esmeralda Amada is 20 months old. Their similar names were inspired by Eva's grandmother; the name 'Amada' means 'beloved' in Spanish.

The ecstatic dad gushed about the joys of fatherhood in an interview to promote his new movie with Russell Crowe entitled, 'Nice Guys'.

Though he's hard at work in Hollywood, nothing compares to life as a dad.

“It sounds so clichéd, but I never knew that life could be this fun and this great,” Ryan told PEOPLE.
