Actor David Spade is the father of a new baby girl born to Playboy Playmate Jillian Grace, his publicist confirmed.
"David and Jillian have been in close contact throughout her pregnancy and he plans to go see the baby during his first break from shooting Rules of Engagement," publicist Meredith O'Sullivan told People.
The 22-year-old playmate gave birth to Spade's daughter Aug. 26 in Missouri. No further details about the baby, including its size or name, were given.
Earlier in January, Spade admitted to a relationship with the Playmate, who is 21 years younger than him.
The comedian said that he would gladly take on the daddy role, if there was proof that the child was his. "I had a brief relationship with Jillian Grace," he told TMZ.com. "If it is true that I am the father of her child, then I will accept responsibility."
The 45-year-old former "Saturday Night Live" player has starred in the TV shows "Rules of Engagement," "8 Simple Rules" and "Just Shoot Me."
Spade has also appeared in the movies "Black Sheep," "Lost & Found," "Joe Dirt" and "Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star."
