Congratulations are in order for actress Terri J. Vaughn. The star of 'All of Us' and 'The Steve Harvey Show' gave birth to her second son, a baby boy named Kal'El Joseph Riley on April 21.
Vaughn is married to arena football star Karon Riley, who plays for the Cleveland Gladiators. This is the couple's first child.
Baby Riley weighed seven pounds, six ounces and measured 19.5 inches at his time of birth.
The child's name, Kal'El, was inspired because Riley is a self-proclaimed 'Superman' fanatic and Kal'El is Superman's Kryptonian name and means "God-like abilities."
"I think the name is very fitting for him -- he's strong, cool and mellow, just perfect," the actress said at the time of delivery. "I could tell even when I was carrying him inside me because he made me feel like Superwoman!"
The football star is excited about being a first time father. "Kal'El looks just like his daddy," he said. "Terri was amazing during the delivery."
The 'Daddy's Little Girl' star has another son, Daylen Ali, 6, from her previous marriage to Derrick Carolina.
Vaughn most recently starred in the films 'Dirty Laundry,' 'Redrum' and 'Three Can Play That Game.'
The actress has a non-profit organization called Take Wings Foundation, which provides scholarships, mentoring and job training opportunities for young women living in public housing in
