The little one — who joins big sister Leighton Grace, 2½ — arrived last month in Nashville, Tenn., weighing 3 lbs., 4.9 oz. and measuring 15 inches long.

“Chapel surprised us on October 29th and we are absolutely in love with our little boy,” Dye shares with PEOPLE. “He is currently thriving in the NICU [neonatal intensive care unit] and his big sister can’t wait to meet him soon.”

They tell PEOPLE that Chapel’s name holds a meaningful significance, as his middle name is also Kerr’s dad’s middle name.
