The Naked Chef Jamie Oliver and his wife Jools have welcomed another daughter, their third. Baby Petal Blossom Rainbow was born at 2:46 a.m. Friday in England. I actually know that Petal was due on Wednesday – because it was the same day that Jamie Oliver was asked to cook for the G-20 leaders at 10 Downing Street (the British Prime Minister’s residence/office). Security precautions meant that Oliver had to give up his cell phone for the duration of his time in 10 Downing Street – so he had no idea if his wife had gone into labor. Thankfully, baby Petal knew her dad had some important work to do, so she chilled out an extra two days.

It’s a third girl for celebrity chef Jamie Oliver, who became a father again on Friday.

Oliver’s wife, Jools, gave birth to Petal Blossom Rainbow at 2:46 a.m., PEOPLE has confirmed. The baby, who weighed 6 lb., 10 oz., joins sisters Poppy Honey, 7, and Daisy Boo, 5, in the Oliver household. Her anticipated arrival was first announced in September.

Oliver, who only two days ago was cooking for world leaders at 10 Downing Street, was at his wife’s side at London’s Portland Hospital for the birth

A statement from a rep for Oliver, who is best known in the U.S. for his Naked Chef TV shows, said, “Both [Petal] and Jools are doing well. The Olivers would like to thank midwives Linda Ordish and Elaine Porter and also obstetrician William Dennis for their wonderful help and support.”

It went on to say: “Jamie and Jools are both completely smitten with Petal already, and Jamie is looking forward to two weeks paternity leave to spend quality time with his four beautiful girls.”

News of the baby’s delivery first broke Friday morning in Britain’s The Sun.

So their girls are Poppy Honey, Daisy Boo and now Petal Blossom Rainbow. Hippies! No, they’re perfectly lovely names – certainly not the worse. Personally, I always love a husband and father who can’t get away from being surrounded by women. It’s so sweet – Jamie has his wife and now three daughters. He’s probably going to be covered in glitter for the next 12 years. Congratulations to the happy family!
