Notoriously private Perth star shares rare baby pic
The couple have not publicly revealed the child's name or gender.
Marrying in 2019, Parker and Sophie welcomed their daughter Peach in 2021.
Their wholesome news coincides with somewhat of a re-birth for Parker as an artist, with the Let It Happen hitmaker building up to the release of his fifth studio album under the Tame Impala moniker following his 2020 project The Slow Rush.

Four weeks later, the multi-hyphenate musician has informed followers he'd 'been busy part 2' — dropping a follow-up photo dump with his tot in tow.
Parker's newborn could be seen sleeping peacefully on his chest as he lay on the couch.
Other images depicted the producer attending a Fremantle Dockers game, spinning the decks alongside Aussie producer Kito, and hijinks from his End of Summer music video shoot in Barcelona.
The long-awaited July release could not have come soon enough for fans who had been patiently awaiting new Tame Impala music.

He is also the former drummer and regular collaborator of local group Pond.
With deep roots in Perth, the singer-songwriter was a special guest at the June birthday bash of Fremantle Dockers captain Alex Pearce, held at Patio Bar.
As the club's number one ticket holder, he is regularly spotted in the Freo rooms, and even produced a hype track for the club that is often played throughout Optus Stadium on game day. Kevin Parker with retiring Freo star Nat Fyfe. Credit: Kevin Parker / Instagram
In response to the musician's baby joy, the Dockers' IG account sent a love heart emoji Parker's way.
However, some fans were less sentimental, and instead encouraged Parker to prioritise his musical endeavours.
'I will rearrange my entire schedule for tour dates,' one fan said.
Another added, 'Just drop the album bro'.
Parker released hugely popular album Currents in 2015, with his earlier Tame Impala projects Lonerism and Innerspeaker coming in 2012 and 2010 respectively.
With more than 30 million monthly listeners on Spotify, his festival favourite The Less I Know The Better has racked up an impressive two billion streams on the platform.

Matt Wright trial: Pilot's alleged spray at boss over stormy weather egg collection request
A young pilot told the Outback Wrangler to 'get f--ked, get vaccinated and go fly his own helicopter' after his boss chewed him out for pulling out of an unsafe mission. Sebastian Robinson on Friday finished giving evidence after being grilled over four days in the trial of Aussie reality television star, Matt Wright. The Apple TV and Netflix star has pleaded not guilty to three counts of attempting to pervert the course of justice during the investigation into a chopper crash that killed his co-star Chris 'Willow' Wilson. It is not alleged Mr Wright is responsible for the crash. On Friday the Northern Territory jury heard about the 'Australia Day incident' where the 28-year-old pilot and Mr Wright had a fight a month before the fatal crash. Mr Robinson said on January 26, he, Mr Wilson and fellow pilot Michael Burbidge were contracted for a crocodile egg collecting mission at the mouth of the Daly River, in the NT. The jury was shown photos of the chopper with an oncoming Wet Season storm looming in the background. Mr Robinson said he radioed Mr Burbidge to say 'it was too dangerous to continue, because the storm was huge', and they mutually agreed to head back into town. He said they went back to the Noonamah Tavern to watch the traditional Australia Day 'ute run' and have a 'beer and a feed'. Mr Robinson said Mr Wright called him 'very hostile and abusive', telling the young pilot 'What the f--k are youse doing back? Egg collecting's not meant to be f—king easy'. 'You sit out there, you f--king ... you wait the weather out. You f--king deal with it,' Mr Wright allegedly said. The jury has previously heard Mr Wright was not able to take part in egg collecting missions in early 2022 because he was an 'anti-vaxxer'. 'I told him to get f--ked, get vaccinated and fly his own helicopter,' Mr Robinson said on Friday. In a group chat with Mr Burbidge and Mr Wilson, the young pilot alleged Mr Wright 'called us all bludgers' for pulling out of the dangerous conditions. The young pilot this contributed to his decision to leave Mr Wright's Helibrook, and he establishing his own company Arnhem Helicopters. Mr Wright sent Mr Robinson a message the next day saying he was 'sorry for blowing up'. The trial continues on Monday.
