Bundle of joy joins Madison, boyfriend
Holly Madison fans got a big hint about what was happening in Holly’s world about 11 a.m. Tuesday.
Her boyfriend, Pasquale Rotella, tweeted two words: “Labor Day!!!”
An hour later, Madison delivered what Us Weekly called a “little girl next door.”
The 7-pound, 2-ounce baby was born in a Henderson hospital.
Madison, 33, gave her fans — 1.2 million on Twitter — some anxious moments two weeks ago when she tripped and fell on her bottom during a red carpet appearance.
She described it as “a little tumble” and added “me and the baby are totally fine — no worries!”
Rotella, 38, is the CEO and founder of Insomniac, the electronic music company behind the successful Electric Daisy Carnival, which moved from Los Angeles to Las Vegas Motor Speedway two years ago.
She’s the former lead of “Peepshow,” the burlesque show at Planet Hollywood Resort, and a star in the reality show “The Girls Next Door” about life in Hugh Hefner’s Playboy Mansion.
Madison and Rotella, who plan to marry this summer, said they haven’t decided on the baby’s name yet.
They made the birth announcement to In Touch magazine, which reportedly has exclusivity rights for the baby photos.
