Magician Mat Franco is continuing to experience the magic of fatherhood!

The winner of America’s Got Talent’s ninth season and his wife, Tianna, have welcomed their second baby, PEOPLE can exclusively reveal.

The infant, a girl named Evalina, was born on Feb. 27. She is the couple’s second child following the birth of their son, Americo, on Jan. 6, 2023.

“My son made me believe in magic. My daughter proved it’s real,” Mat, 36, tells PEOPLE. “Fatherhood just became the greatest show on Earth.”

Evalina was born in Las Vegas, weighing in at 6 lbs., 12 oz.

The couple shared family photos with PEOPLE exclusively of themselves with Americo, 2, and Evalina, 7 weeks, posing at their home.

In some of the photos, Tianna can be seen smiling while holding Evalina, with Mat and Americo by their side.

Mat and Tianna married on Aug. 22, 2019, during a “tropical oasis” celebration in Laguna Beach, Calif.

At the time, Mat gushed about his college sweetheart. “I wake up every day and I find out a new reason [why] she’s the one,” he told PEOPLE in 2019, nearly 10 years after they met as students at the University of Rhode Island.

Tiana added, “I still get butterflies. When he calls me and my phone rings, I’m running across the house with butterflies.”

The new addition to the family comes as Mat is celebrating his 10th year headlining a show — Mat Franco: Magic Reinvented Nightly — at The LINQ Hotel + Experience on the Las Vegas Strip.
Mat previously impressed judges on America’s Got Talent in 2014 with his magic, illusions and card tricks. The Vegas residency soon followed in 2015, along with his NBC special, Mat Franco’s Got Magic, that same year.
