“Hawaii Five-0” star Alex O’Loughlin has become a father again. His girlfriend, surfer/model Malia Jones, gave birth to a boy Thursday, according to O’Loughlin’s publicist.

The boy’s name was not released, nor were details about weight and length. But the child is the second for each: O’Loughlin has a 15-year-old son who lives with him in Hawaii. Jones has a 3-year-old son.

The 36-year-old O’Loughlin told the Star-Advertiser in September that with a baby on the way, family was his first priority. “Every spare moment I get, I am at home,” he said. “I am with the kids. I am with Malia.”

And despite the huge demands of filming a hit show, O’Loughlin said he balanced his responsibilities. “I think I have a really fantastic balance, being the lead of a big show and being a family man,” he said.
