Mike Tyson becomes a dad for the 8th time

MELBOURNE - Former heavyweight boxing champ Mike Tyson has become a father for the eighth time.

According to Radar Online, Tyson and his wife Lakiha Spicer welcomed their second child - a baby boy - on Tuesday.

It is Tyson’s eighth child from a list of ex-wives and girlfriends, reports the Daily Telegraph.

It is also his first since the death of his 4-year-old daughter Exodus, who died in May 2009 when her neck was caught in the cord of an exercise machine.

The couple married just 10 days after Exodus’ death. They have one daughter together, 2-year-old Milan.

“Mike and Lakiha are very happy and everyone is doing great,” a source told the entertainment website.

Spicer delivered the boy in a Las Vegas hospital, where she was admitted Monday in preparation for the birth. (ANI)
