George Lucas, 69, and his wife of two months, Mellody Hobson, 44, announced Monday that they have a new daughter.

Everest Hobson Lucas was delivered by a surrogate on Friday. She is Hobson's first child and Lucas' fourth. Her siblings are Jett, 20, Katie, 25, and Amanda, 32, who were adopted.

Hobson is president of Ariel Investments, a company said to be worth $3 billion. Lucas sold Lucasfilm to Disney last year for around $4 billion, which is said was put into an educational fund. He is serving as consultant on the forthcoming "Star Wars: Episode VII."

Close friends of the couple expressed delight, said the new baby was a surprise to them, and wished them well.
