Filmmaker George Lucas and his new wife, Mellody Hobson, have welcomed a girl, born Friday.

Everest Hobson Lucas is the first biological child for both parties, who married on June 22 at Skywalker Ranch in Marin County, the Huffington Post reported.

Lucas, 69, has three children via adoption: Amanda, 32, from a previous marriage to Marcia Griffin, and Katie, 25, and Jett, 20, whom Lucas adopted on his own.

The “Star Wars” creator and Hobson, 44, met in 2006 at a business conference. In addition to her position as president of Ariel Investments, she’s chairman of Dreamworks Animation and a financial contributor with CBS.

Lucas sold his production company, Lucasfilm, for a little more $4 billion to the Walt Disney Company last October.
