Former Saints player Steve Gleason and his wife, Michel, welcomed a baby girl, Gray Varisco Gleason, on Tuesday in New Orleans.
"Steve and Michel Gleason are happy to announce the birth of their second child, a baby girl," Team Gleason associate executive director Clare Durrett said, according to NOLA.com.
Our daughter, Gray Varisco Gleason, was born happy and healthy this afternoon.

Steve and Michel confirmed publicly in July that they were expecting their second child, a daughter, following a successful in vitro fertilization procedure.
Their first child, a son named Rivers, was born shortly after Gleason learned of his ALS diagnosis in 2011.
