Joe Francis is now a father.

The Girls Gone Wild creator and his girlfriend, Abbey Wilson, welcomed twin girls — named Alexandria Claire Francis and Athena Olivia Francis — on Tuesday in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Francis has a villa in nearby Punta Mita.

The couple broke the news shortly after the birth of their daughters with a photo announcement featuring a pic of the couple and a scenic shot of Puerto Vallarta. Francis had teased the news hours earlier by posting a shot on Instagram of himself outfitted in hospital scrubs and a surgical mask with the caption, "Here we go!!! Babies are coming now!"

It wasn't a surprise that Wilson delivered girls as the couple revealed that they set out to have daughters through in-vitro fertilization. "I believe people will finally understand my love, respect, and admiration for women," Francis said in April when they announced the pregnancy. "I love girls."

The births are a bright spot for Francis, whose name is often attached to negative headlines. In August, a bankruptcy judge questioned whether an arrest warrant should be issued for the 41-year-old over his alleged tampering with GGW bankruptcy proceedings. And last year, Francis was sentenced to jail time for an assault case from 2011 involving three women at his Bel-Air mansion.
