Leicester City were due to play West Ham today but Jamie missed it for the birth of their third child.
Brendan Rodgers confirmed the news in a statement, saying: "Jamie Vardy’s wife had a child today, so he’s with her and congratulations to them.";
Jamie revealed earlier this week how the family had not yet discovered what gender baby they were expecting.
He told Football Focus that his kids "couldn't wait" to meet their new sibling.

He added: "Nobody knows what we're having so it's even better, it's a little surprise for everyone."
Jamie even revealed how he will be taking on night feeds when he's not playing a match.
He added: "I'll be honest, I've not really done much of the night feeds.
"If I've got training or a game she just tells me to obviously stay in bed so that I'm fresh.
"But if we've played a game and obviously it's a day off the next day, I always make sure that I'll help out and stay up as long as you can."
But today the family were delighted to welcome a baby girl to the family.
Jamie tweeted: "Over the moon to let you know our beautiful little girl has arrived 💕
"Becky and baby are both doing well and we are all totally in love with the newest member of our team."
Earlier this year Rebekah was involved in a high-profile spat when her Instagram account was accused of leaking stories to the press about Coleen Rooney.
It saw Coleen, Wayne Rooney's wife, dubbed Wagatha Christie while Rebekah issued legal threats insisting on her innocence.
We told how heavily pregnant Becky broke down on a flight home from Dubai and was comforted by Jamie after Coleen, 33, went public with the accusations.
Last night a source said: “It has been an incredibly difficult pregnancy because of the public row with Coleen but she and her family are delighted the baby has now arrived.
“Becky was devastated by the row, which really shocked her at a difficult time. But Jamie was a rock and so supportive. He was by her side last night as she gave birth.”
Coleen said in October she had laid a trap by planting false stories on a private Instagram account to work out who leaked them.

She ended by saying “It’s... Rebekah Vardy’s account.”
Each story, published in The Sun, was put to Coleen’s people, who did not comment.
In an interview after the row erupted, Becky — who was given no warning about the accusation — told how she was left in tears and felt Coleen had “annihilated” her in public.

She said: “I am tough but this made me cry.
“It’s hard to explain how horrible it’s been.”
Becky revealed she hired a cyber-expert to examine her account, which dozens of people have had access to in recent years.
