Talk about an addition to the household – Extreme Makeover: Home Edition designer Ed Sanders is the new father of triplets, PEOPLE has confirmed.

Sanders's wife Gioia, a magazine and fashion-show make-up artist, gave birth to three healthy daughters on May 5 in Los Angeles: Scarlette, who weighed 3 lbs., 15 oz.; Azure, 3 lbs., 15 oz; and Lucia, 4 lbs., 2 oz.

The couple also have a son, Max who will turn 5 in June.

The London-born Sanders, 32, who moved to the U.S. in 2004 to try his luck in American television, confirmed his wife was expecting the three girls on his blog in January, saying they were due in mid-June but could be up to two months premature.

"To say we are excited but nervous is an understatement," he wrote on May 1.

He wrote in March that Max had been hoping for a little brother to play with – but soon came around, saying, "I am very happy to be having three sisters."

In addition to his new family members, Sanders has a new job: He's the host of ABC's National Bingo Night, which premieres Friday at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
