NEW parents Bill and Giuliana Rancic show off their handsome baby boy Edward Duke for the first in the new issue of Life & Style.

The couple welcomed son Edward Duke Rancic in Denver, Colorado, on August 29, 2012.

After years of struggles with infertility and IVF injections, Giuliana was diagnosed with breast cancer and in December 2011 underwent a double mastectomy. When she was told to delay trying to get pregnant again for at least five years, the couple found a surrogate and shortly after announced that they were expecting.

“I had always heard that when you have a baby it completes your life — and it’s true,” Giuliana said.

“I love my baby, and I love my new role.

“Edward is Bill’s late dad’s name and my dad’s name. It was a way to honor them. And Duke means leader.

“I couldn’t believe that all those years of struggling and the tears actually paid off.

“Every shot, every doctor’s visit — in the end, when you’re holding your baby in your arms, you forget it all, and it’s worth it.”

“Every day he’s changing — it’s just remarkable to see,” said Bill, 41. “[He's] got Giuliana’s dimples!”
