Wainwright made the surprise announcement on his official website on Friday, revealing that Lorca Cohen had given birth to a girl in early February.
Viva Katherine Wainwright Cohen will reportedly be brought up by both of her parents, as well as Wainwright's partner, "deputy dad" Jorn Weisbrodt.
Making Canadian musical royalty Viva Katherine Wainwright Cohen was born on 2 February 2011 in Los Angeles, California, the gay musician revealed on his website, naming he, Cohen and Weisbrodt as "proud parents".
"The little angel is evidently healthy, presumably happy and certainly very, very beautiful. Daddy #1 would like to offer everyone a digital cigar and welcome the little lady in with a French phrase from his favorite folk song, À La Claire Fontaine: 'Il y a longtemps que je t'aime, jamais je ne t'oublierai.'"
Viva Catherine is named after Wainwright's mother, the folk singer Kate McGarrigle, who died in January 2010. Rufus's sister, the singer-songwriter Martha Wainwright, had her first child in London at the end of 2009.
