Alongside the birth announcement, she offered a heartfelt caption about the life-changing moment she first held her baby girl: "Parts of my heart that I didn't even know existed were unlocked at 8:44 am when they laid you on my belly for the first time. I will never be the same."

Alaina and her husband, Cam Arnold, whom she married earlier this year, are overjoyed by the arrival of their daughter. "We are honored God chose us to be your parents," she added. "You, to your dad and me, are absolute perfection."

In a special tribute to her newborn and late father, the singer also surprised fans by releasing a brand-new song titled "Heaven Sent."

Alaina explained the song was inspired by the emotional journey of learning she was pregnant shortly after the loss of her dad.

"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," she wrote.

Beni's birth just days before Father's Day adds deeper meaning to the release.

"It's 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."
