Alexa confirmed her baby news last November, sharing a snap of Carlos cradling her growing bump as she posed in a pink jumpsuit.
She had been sharing glimpses of her pregnancy journey on social media ever since, including numerous vlogs and video posts from hospital.
The Ruby and the Rockits star first came to fame at the age of eight, thanks to her role in action flick Twister, alongside Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton.
She became a household name after starring as Carmen Cortez in the Spy Kids franchise, with the first film hitting the big screen in 2001.
In 2012, she started dating Carlos after meeting him at a Bible study, and they soon became inseparable.
They went on to share the screen together in the 2013 finale of Nickelodeon show Big Time Rush, which followed the story of Carlos’ band of the same name.
The couple tied the knot in 2014, and went on to welcome children Ocean, Kingston and Rio together.
