Magician Mat Franco is continuing to experience the magic of fatherhood!
The winner of America’s Got Talent’s ninth season and his wife, Tianna, have welcomed their second baby, PEOPLE can exclusively reveal.
The infant, a girl named Evalina, was born on Feb. 27. She is the couple’s second child following the birth of their son, Americo, on Jan. 6, 2023.
“My son made me believe in magic. My daughter proved it’s real,” Mat, 36, tells PEOPLE. “Fatherhood just became the greatest show on Earth.”

Mat and Tianna married on Aug. 22, 2019, during a “tropical oasis” celebration in Laguna Beach, Calif.
At the time, Mat gushed about his college sweetheart. “I wake up every day and I find out a new reason [why] she’s the one,” he told PEOPLE in 2019, nearly 10 years after they met as students at the University of Rhode Island.
Tiana added, “I still get butterflies. When he calls me and my phone rings, I’m running across the house with butterflies.”

The new addition to the family comes as Mat is celebrating his 10th year headlining a show — Mat Franco: Magic Reinvented Nightly — at The LINQ Hotel + Experience on the Las Vegas Strip.
