"My wife is the real champion. 30 hours of labor. I witnessed first hand the strength of a woman. Thank you Jesus we are so humbled by your grace and love and favor." Gibson wrote.

The couple got married in a surprise Valentine's Day ceremony last year.

Lee, 29, learnt the news of her pregnancy in late January.

Gibson is already a father to 10-year-old daughter, Shayla, whom he had with former wife, Norma Mitchell.
