Christina Aguilera and her husband Jordan Bratman welcomed a baby boy!

We've got another new mom in the house! Yes, Christina Aguilera and her husband Jordan Bratman welcomed a baby boy into the world on Friday.

Congratulations to both of them!

It is understood that Aguilera and Bratman made the announcement to close friends and family through text message around 4pm on Friday.

"Baby has arrived. Mom and dad are doing well," the text read.

Christina didn't release the baby's name immediately keeping in line with her top secret pregnancy.

Nonillion? Sextillion? What do they mean?

Many of us know million, billion, trillion...however, names of numbers larger than a quadrillion are almost never used.

It is debatable which of them should be considered real working English vocabulary and which are merely trivia, curiosities, or coinages.

Sextillion is equal to 10 to the power of 21 based on short scale (USA and Modern British) and Nonillion is equal to 10 to the power of 30 based on short scale (USA and Modern British).
