Bode Miller and his wife Morgan Beck Miller welcomed a baby boy on Friday. According to People, the little bundle of joy was born Oct. 5 at 1:34 p.m.
The happy news cam about four months after the Olympic ski and pro volleyball player lost their 19-month-old daughter, Emeline, in a tragic drowning accident. Back in June, Captain Steve Concialdi of the Orange County Fire Authority told E! News Morgan had been visiting a neighbor's house on Saturday, June 9 when she realized her daughter had gotten away for a short period of time. The mother headed to the backyard, where she found her daughter in the pool. Morgan pulled Emeline out of the water and 911 was immediately called. CPR was also used. Paramedics took over the care upon arrival and applied advanced live-saving measures. Emeline was then transported to Mission Hospital in "serious condition," specifically full cardiac arrest. The child passed away on Sunday, June 10.
"We are beyond devastated.Our baby girl, Emmy, passed away yesterday," the Olympian wrote on social media at the time. "Never in a million years did we think we would like to have a life in our life, we love it! this painful time. "
The Millers opened up the drowning during a July interview with Today.
"I can attest from firsthand experience now that it's unbelievable quick and unbelievable sneaky," he said. "You'd think it's going to be some circumstance or some strange thing, and it's not going to happen."
According to the news outlet, the drowning and drowning couple is a common cause of death among young children.
"And it's literally-a child under 30 pounds can drown in 30 seconds," Morgan said. "And I just keep counting to 30 in my head, that was all I needed."
Issuing a safety warning to parents, she added, "And so it's one of those things where, when you go to someone else's house, find out where to find your own."
Bode announced the couple were expecting another child in April. He is also a proud father to three other children.
