Smashing Pumpkins leader Billy Corgan and wife Chloé Mendel welcomed their third child on Tuesday (March 18). The couple shared the news with People magazine, revealing that Juno Corgan was born during the “wee hours” at the couple’s Highland, Park, IL home and weighed 9.9 lbs. and was 22 inches long.

“My wife, Chloé is doing well and recovering, and baby Juno is happy, healthy, and nursing with gusto,” Corgan told the magazine. “We are so touched by all the kind wishes of support and love, and thank those who helped Chloé and baby have such a safe, and peaceful, home birth.” The rocker added that the couple’s other children, son Augustus Juppiter, 9, and daughter Philomena Clementine, 6, are “absolutely thrilled by their new sister [and]… can’t wait till she’s old enough to play.”

The couple revealed last August that they were expecting their third and shared a picture with the newborn with People, in which Juno is snuggled between them as Corgan cradles an acoustic guitar. In addition to diaper duty, Corgan has a lot of other irons in the fire, including owning the National Wrestling Alliance and recently launching the Magnificent Others podcast, where he’s had long-form chats with everyone from KISS bassist/singer Gene Simmons, to Tom Morello, Sharon Osbourne, Wolfgang Van Halen, songwriter Diane Warren and Howie Mandel.

He also announced earlier this month that he is planning to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Pumpkins’ landmark double-album, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness with an event he’s calling A Night of Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness at the Lyric Opera of Chicago for seven evenings beginning Nov. 21; tickets for the event will go on sale on April 11.

In the meantime, the Pumpkins continue their Aghori Tour, with a run of dates in Europe slated for July and August.
