David Hasselhoff Is 'Crying' as He Shares Major Family Update

David Hasselhoff is officially a grandpa, and he couldn't be more proud of the newest member of the family.

With excited tears, the 72-year-old welcomed his granddaughter with a heartwarming photo posted on Instagram earlier this week.

"A crying Grandad," he sweetly captioned the announcement, which included a snap of the Knight Rider alum accepting the newborn into his arms.

He clutched her close to his chest, with a soft pink blanket spread out underneath the squirmy babe, whose feet were raised high in the air.

"She’s perfect WOW ❤️," he added. "I am so blessed."

The newest member of the family, named London Hasselhoff Fiore , was born to Hasselhoff's daughter, Taylor Hasselhoff-Fiore , on Aug. 11, according to another Instagram post later shared by her mom .

"...truly the best day of our lives. We never knew you could be THIS happy 🥹. Baby London, Mommy & Daddy are so excited for this journey together and we can’t wait to show you the world 🌍🩷🎀👼🏻," the 34-year-old added, alongside several photos from the hospital, while her husband, Madison, added, "Angel baby 👼🏼❤️🤝,” in the comments.

Fans were delighted for the actor to take on his latest role, with one telling him, "Enjoy your new life as a grandfather."

"Congratulations David! Your grandchild has the coolest grandfather ever, The Hoff 😀," another wrote.

Someone else wrote that they were "so happy" to see the actor with the little "dream come true."
