Wow! Thanks Tiff, I guess I got lucky. My new grandniece was 8lb 3 oz. and they looked to be kinda close in size. ;) My niece is very tiny also like Airyn. :)

Hey Joanie, I could be wrong but I think that Carl and Sharon were there when Asia was born, may still be.

Yeah, I was thinking that, too, just as I hit the "submit reply" button! Hope they were -- and that they can visit often to babysit! ;)

I don't remember if Art mentioned it or I read somewhere. Come to think of it it may have been an email I got from Alan Corbeth, but nevertheless know they were not alone.

Yes, she is a doll indeed.....

I just can't wait until my grand-daughter arrives. She's due on the 17th of June or the doctors will induce labor on the 20th.

Looking at Asia, is melting my heart too :)

She is melting my heart also, she looks so much like Airyn, at least that is what I see.

Asia-mania has primed you for that granddaughter, Ivy! You'll be over-the-moon to have her in your arms!

Yes, Shirley, in that pic Asia certainly favors Airyn, but the earlier pics had just enough of Art to make me think her name will be a true indication of a great blend of both. ;)

What a pretty little girl, and she looks like both Art and Airyn! She is an old soul, I would say. Congrats to Art and Airyn.

New baby for Art Bell

Radio host Art Bell, who will be 62 years old in a week, announced on Saturday night that his wife, Airyn, had given birth to a girl, Asia Rayne Bell. Bell married Airyn last year and described her at the time as being in her "early twenties." She had just finished teacher training in the Philippines.

Bell founded the Coast to Coast talk show on which he interviews guests on topics ranging from the paranormal to Middle Eastern politics. Bell's late night show is broadcast from Nevada and has a following on Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside where unemployment is high and people get into the habit of staying up late. Bell gets many Canadians on his call in line; in fact they dominate the International Line he set up for listeners outside America.

Bell announced at the opening of last night's show that Airyn, 4 ‘ 8” tall, gave birth to the 8 lb. 5 ounce Asia by cesarean section. The baby was born on May 30th at 6 a.m. She was conceived during a visit to Hong Kong. Hence the name, Asia.

Bell says Asia is an "alert, advanced beyond her days" little girl. He says it seems like she is three months old. But he said he would not "dwell" on his new offspring because he knows that new parents sometimes do that and for those who are not the parents, "it probably bores them to death."

Bell met Airyn in 2006, just weeks after his second wife Ramona, 47, died suddenly of an asthma attack in their RV in January. Bell told his listeners when he returned to the air that Ramona’s death had left him in almost unbearable emotional pain and he had even considered suicide. But after a few weeks of mourning, Bell began to sound upbeat on his show, almost giddy. At one point he repeatedly kidded a guest, physicist Lisa Randall, in a most uncharacteristically sexist manner, asking her how a woman so good looking could be so smart. He told he knew he was being sexist and said she believed he was. He just didn't sound like himself. But soon his listeners would find out what was going on.

He had met Airyn.

An American friend of Bell's who was engaged to Airyn’s sister in the Philippines, had Bell's personal e-mail address and had given it to Airyn. Bell was not aware of this. But he began to receive e-mails from Airyn and they began to correspond. He fell for her. He went to the Philippines and after a couple of weeks getting to know her, married her in a double wedding with her sister and his friend. He announced to his listeners that he was in love, that he was happy. And he reminded us that "Life is very short."
