George Lucas and his wife, Mellody Hobson, are the parents of a daughter, born via surrogate. Here they are on June 16.

George Lucas and his wife, Ariel Investments president Mellody Hobson, are the parents of a daughter, born via surrogate, according to the Huffington Post.

The child, given the lofty name of Everest Hobson Lucas, arrived on Friday. She joins Lucas' older kids Amanda, 32; Katie, 25; and Jett, 20.

Lucas, 69, and Hobson, 44, got hitched June 22 at Skywalker Ranch in Marin County, California.

Surrogacy has been in the news of late. Jimmy Fallon and wife Nancy Juvonen also just had a daughter, Winnie Rose, born via surrogate. Elizabeth Banks' two boys were also born via surrogate, as were Sarah Jessica Parker's twin daughters.
