Former 'NSYNC member Joey Fatone and his wife, Kelly, welcomed their second daughter on Monday. Kloey Alexandra Fatone was born in Orlando, Florida, and joins her older sister, 8-year-old Briahna, People reported.
Kloey weighed 5 pounds, 8 ounces when she was born late Monday evening. She was born two weeks early after doctors induced labor because they were concerned for Kelly's health. "Kloey's so small," Fatone told People about the baby. "She looks like a little doll. But she's healthy and doing just fine."
In the interview, Fatone opened up about his wife's difficult pregnancy, noting that shortly after she found out she was pregnant she was diagnosed with a rare genetic condition called methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase. The disease not only threatens the mother's life, but also increases the baby's chances of being born with chromosomal defects like Down's Syndrome.
"She was so tired, just exhausted all the time," Fatone said about his wife's symptoms during her pregnancy. "We took her to the doctors, and they found blood clots in her lungs. It was life and death. ... The blood clots have broken up, Kelly's doing fine and Kloey is awesome."
Fatone added that Briahna helped name her new little sister, giving her the middle name, Alexandra. "I'm thrilled," Fatone said. "I'm just so happy that everyone's healthy."
Last year, Fatone spoke to MTV News about how his daughter, Briahna, didn't really consider her dad a celebrity until he gained a highly coveted guest spot on "Hannah Montana." "It was interesting when I did an episode on 'Hannah Montana,' it was pretty funny," he said. "At first it was like ' 'NSYNC, what?' [My daughter] and her friends didn't care. But now that I did 'Hannah Montana,' it's a different story. I'm awesome."
