Joe Francis welcomed a baby girl via an egg donor and surrogate last month.
The Girls Gone Wild founder, 53, revealed that he recently brought home the 'best baby' and seemingly did so as a single father.
He welcomed a newborn daughter named Juliet Aurelia Francis in Mexico City on March 18, according to TMZ.
This comes shortly after his contentious custody battle with his ex-wife Abbey Wilson, whom he was married to from 2012 to 2021.
He and Wilson previously welcomed their twin daughters, Alexandria Claire and Athena Olivia, via in vitro fertilization (IVF) in October 2014.
He remains in no contact with his ex as well as their twin daughters.

The couple met when she entered his Search for the Hottest Girls in America contest in 1997 and remained in an on-again, off-again relationship before their split five years ago.
He previously accused his wife of kidnapping their twin daughters; however, records indicated that she was granted temporary custody at the time.
Wilson's lawyer told the Daily Mail in 2021 that Francis had not provided financial support in over a year.
Wilson and their daughters reside in the United States, while Francis made Mexico his permanent home the year after Alexandria and Athena were born.
The controversial producer has avoided returning to the U.S. due to outstanding legal issues.
Since 2015, he has had an outstanding warrant for his arrest in the U.S. based on a bankruptcy case, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Francis was previously convicted in the United States for assaulting and trapping three women at his Hollywood home in 2013.
Since the late 90s, he has been entangled in a number of legal troubles, including convictions for assault, false imprisonment, tax evasion and child exploitation record-keeping violations.

His company has also been accused of exploiting minors, and Francis has been accused of rape and sexual assault, all of which he has vehemently denied.
In the 2024 Peacock docuseries, Girls Gone Wild: The Untold Story, Francis spoke about becoming a father to daughters and his role as the founder of his softcore porn company.
He said that having daughters has 'not at all' altered his perspective on the business he does.
'It has reaffirmed my belief that all women are independent in their thinking and all women make their own decisions.' he said on the show. 'Women in Girls Gone Wild ... choose to be in Girls Gone Wild.'
In the docuseries, Francis also denied claims that he had crossed the line with Girls Gone Wild subjects, claiming that he only had consensual sex with adult women.
