Alaina shares the exciting news on social media.
"The right words are hard to find to describe how parts of my heart that I didn't even knew existed were unlocked at 8:44 a.m. when they laid you on my belly for the first time," Alaina writes, sharing photos of the newborn. "I will never be the same. You, to your dad and me, are absolute perfection. We are honored God chose us to be your parents. Thank you to everyone for all of the love, prayers and support for our precious daughter."
Alaina also reveals that Beni was born on June 11, weighing 7 lbs. and 13 ounces, and measuring 19 inches long.

Alaina also reveals she dropped a new song, "Heaven Sent," in honor of her firstborn's arrival.
"I have a little surprise for everyone," Alaina shares. "To celebrate the most precious miracle on Earth, I have decided to release a song I wrote about my daughter. We learned she was coming in a time of deep sadness after the loss of my daddy. I wasn't sure when I would share 'Heaven Sent,' but watching my own husband become a father the last couple of days has made me want to share it with you now."
Alaina tragically lost her father, J.J. Suddeth, last July, only a few months after marrying Arnold. The arrival of Alaina's daughter is bittersweet for Alaina, which is why she chose to release "Heaven Sent."
"She came just before Father's Day," Alaina says. "My first without my own father. A day that will forever be hard to me, but I now have a new and perfect reason to celebrate it. Beni's daddy. My sweet and steady husband. Beni truly is a gift from God that my old man sitting up there in 'Heaven Sent.' It's out now everywhere."
It's fitting that Alaina released a new song when welcoming Beni, since she announced she was expecting with a song. It was in Alaina's video for "Those Kind Of Women" that she showed her pregnancy for the first time.
