The arrival comes six months after the DJ brought his wife up on stage during a performance in Dubai for a “special moment”, finding out the baby’s gender with fans.

“This is my wife, and we’re having a baby,” he told the crowd at the time, according to People, “We’re going to find out if it’s a boy or if it’s a girl.”

A cake with the name “Aoki” was brought out, with Sasha smushing the cake on her husband’s face, revealing the gender.
