Nate Berkus and his husband Jeremiah Brent have some good news to share!

"Jeremiah & I are thrilled to announce the arrival of our daughter, Poppy Brent-Berkus, born via surrogate on March 23, 2015," Berkus, 43, announced to his Facebook friends Wednesday afternoon. "We are so excited to finally be a family of 3! As anyone with a newborn knows, we have our work cut out for us but couldn't be happier to be embarking on this life changing journey that is parenthood."

"Thank you all for your well wishes and support," the interior designer added.

The couple got married in May 2014, and four months later, they announced via Facebook that a baby was on the way.

Prior to their wedding, Brent said they were excited by the prospect of parenthood.

"One thing at a time, but Nate will be the best dad," the designer and TV personality said on the set of E!'s The Fabulist. "I want like a soccer team. Unfortunately, it's not as easy for us like conventional couples as you can imagine. We both want kids. I would have five if I could, but we will probably have two."

Now that Poppy has arrived, they're one step closer!

Last month, Berkus opened up about their first year of marriage in a Wet Paint interview. "We're very lucky to have found each other. I think we make each other better," he raved of Brent, who once worked for Rachel Zoe. "We challenge each other. It's certainly not easy every day. We move through our lives knowing that we're lucky to have each other and that we love each other. Anything I can do to make his world a little more brighter and anything he can do to make mine [brighter], we do that."

How were they preparing for fatherhood?

"We are ordering all the stuff you need to order online, like the diapers and all the stuff," said Berkus, whose eponymous talk show ended in 2012. "Friends have given us amazing clothing and all that."
