R&B singer Bobby Brown is a dad for the fifth time - his manager girlfriend Alicia Etheridge has given birth to a baby boy.

Whitney Houston's ex-husband broke the happy news on stage during a concert at Rok nightclub in New York on Wednesday, revealing the couple welcomed little Cassius into the world on Monday, reports TMZ.com.

The star has four other children from previous relationships, including 16-year-old Bobbi Kristina, his daughter with Houston.

Brown and Etheridge have been dating since the former New Edition singer's marriage to Houston broke down in 2006.
