Reggae artiste Ziggy Marley and his wife, Orly Marley, have welcomed another addition to the family.

The son of the late reggae legend, became a father for the fourth time on March 14, when his wife gave birth to their third son.

The newborn was named Isaiah Sion Robert Nesta Marley, as a tribute to the reggae legend.

According to eonline.com, a source close to the family has confirmed that mother and newborn are "healthy and happy".

"Ziggy Marley and his wife, Orly, welcomed their fourth child, Isaiah Sion Robert Nesta Marley, on Monday, March 14th in Los Angeles," the statement read. "All are healthy and happy," the rep added.

The couple also has a daughter, Judah, 10, and sons Gideon, 9, and Abraham, 5.

Earlier this month, Ziggy took to Twitter to share a photo with his wife before she gave birth with the caption, "My beautiful wife and I share a moment as she gets ready to give birth to our fourth child today".

The birth of his son isn't the only thing that the singer is celebrating, as he recently made his acting debut in an episode of Hawaii Five-O. He is also gearing up to release his sixth studio album in May.
