Desperate Housewives star Ricardo Chavira, who plays Eva Langoria's husband on the show, is now the proud father of two, after his wife Marcea Dietzel gave birth to a baby girl Monday night in San Antonio, Texas.  The two got married in the same city September of last year and have a on, Tomas, who is 5.

Belen Elysabeth Chavira was born at 5:59 pm in Texas, weighing in at 7 pounds, 12 ounces.  Baby Chavira came less than a week after another Desperate Housewives leading man became a daddy.  Kyle MacLachlan, who plays Orson, the second husband of Bree (Marcia Cross), welcomed Callum Lyon MacLachlan, his first son with wife Desiree Gruber, producer of Project Runway.  Baby MacLachlan made his world debut on July 25 in Los Angeles tipping the scales at 8 pounds, 6 ounces.

The low-key wedding of Ricardo and Marcea last year caught the attention of Desperate Housewives fans as the two married in an under-the-radar ceremony wearing their pajamas.  Their only son then acted as best man and ringbearer and in place of a reception, the family trooped to the little boy's soccer game.

MacLachlan, whose more notable roles include the impotent husband of Charlotte York on Sex and the City, was “thrilled” at the news that the baby and the mother are “doing well.”  The couple tied the knot six years ago. He'll return to the big screen next month in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2, followed by a role in the upcoming Polish brothers comedy, Manure, to be released in 2009.

Desperate Housewives will return on ABC on Sunday, September 28 at 9pm.  It also stars Teri Hatcher, Felicity Huffman, Nicollette Sheridan, Doug Savant, and James Denton. It was nominated for six Emmy Awards for its premiere season.
