Sean Ono Lennon has welcomed his first child.
The musician revealed on Instagram on Tuesday that his longtime partner, Charlotte Kemp Muhl, had recently welcomed a son called Aurelius.
"@charlottekempmuhl and I have created a Human Bean!" he wrote alongside a touching picture of the pair holding their newborn. "His name is Aurelius! Thank you!"
Sean also uploaded a photograph of himself carrying the baby, along with another showing Charlotte, 39, resting in a hospital bed beside Aurelius.
"Baby Momma!" the 50 year old wrote.
Charlotte also reflected on her first experience of motherhood in a separate social media update.
"We made a human! Am convinced DNA is agentic alien quaternary code," she wrote. "The sleep deprivation only adds to the surrealism... Burping technique tips welcome. Been playing him Aphex Twin and Stravinsky. Meconium (a baby's first poop) is crazy."
Sean and model and musician Charlotte began their relationship in 2007. The couple also make music together under the name The Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger.
Aurelius is the first and only grandchild of artist Yoko Ono and the late John Lennon. The Beatles legend was killed in 1980 at the age of 40, when Sean was five.
Although Sean does not often discuss his well known family, the producer explained during a CBS Sunday Morning interview broadcast last December that preserving his parents' artistic legacy has become an important responsibility for him.
"Obviously, the world is also the custodian of (Lennon's) legacy, I would say," he shared. "I'm just doing my best to help make sure that the younger generation doesn't forget about The Beatles and John and Yoko. That's how I look at it."

Mark E Smith’s fiancée and final manager has criticised The Fall’s upcoming “final” album, ‘Post Script’, calling it a “cash grab” and “ethically wrong”.
The nine song record arrives through Cog Sinister on October 2. It features unused vocals Smith recorded in the studio between 2001 and 2014, with former Fall members and longtime collaborators Ed Blaney and Simon “Ding” Archer adding new music after his death.
When ‘Post Script’ was announced in June, reports suggested the recordings came from an album The Fall had been working on before Smith died in January 2018.
Pamela Vander has since told The Guardian that Smith recorded none of the vocals after the release of ‘New Facts Emerge’ in 2017. She says he had chosen that record to be The Fall’s last album.
“They’re selling it as ‘the final album’ so people will think Mark made it on his deathbed, but none of it [vocally] was made after ‘New Facts Emerge’,” she said.
“I have Mark’s actual last recordings – he was working on a cover of Madonna’s ‘Material Girl’ – but by the time of his death he had made the decision that ‘New Facts Emerge’ was the final album, made by the longest-lasting line-up of The Fall, who were with Mark for 10 years.
“So I don’t think anyone else should override a decision he made when he was alive.”
