Lester’s time with his newest family member was quickly cut short however, as he was forced to rush down to Florida and cover Hurricane Irma on the ground for NBC.

He had just come home from covering Hurricane Harvey in Texas when he met baby Henry.

Lester shared a photo as he flew into the state on Thursday, writing: ‘35,000 ft over Florida coast wondering what Sunday will bring. @NBCNightlyNews live from Miami tonight with full coverage of Hurricane Irma.’

New dad Stefon also shared his excitement by posting a photo of himself and wife Morgan on Instagram.

‘Say hello to the newest member of our family. Henry Holt, born last night in NYC. Baby and Mom are doing great!’ wrote Stefon.

The couple revealed they were having a baby boy back in March, posting photos from their gender reveal party.
