"My father died July 6, 2009 and I dedicated my business to him. My son was born today, July 6, 2022 and I'm dedicating my life to him. Welcome to the world son, I got my big Dave in heaven and now I got my lil Dave here on earth 🙏🏾💪🏾👨‍👦," wrote Hayes.

The Slutty Vegan owner and CEO of Big Dave Cheesesteaks are already parents to a daughter, D Ella, whom they welcomed in February. Hayes is also a father to two daughters from a previous relationship.

Cole also shared a picture of her holding her newborn son.

Previously, according to PEOPLE, the Atlanta entrepreneurs expressed how excited they were to welcome a boy to their family.

"I'm super excited about having a son because I've tried for so long and honestly thought I couldn't make boys," Hayes said. "I'm really happy, it's a blessing because I now have my legacy that will carry my name and the memory of my Dad, Big Dave."

"I couldn't be more excited!" added Cole.

Congrats to the happy couple!
