Malcolm and Lucy Turnbull welcome fourth grandchild

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and wife Lucy have become grandparents for the fourth time. 

Their son, Alex, and wife Yvonne, reportedly rang the PM with the happy news of a boy this morning. 

While speaking to locals in Rockhampton on Wednesday, Mr Turnbull confirmed Alex and Yvonne had welcomed their second child. 

"Our son and his wife had their little boy today," he said. 

The Singapore-based couple, who already have three-year-old daughter, Isla, are yet to reveal their little one's name. 

Last month, Turnbull confirmed that Alex and Yvonne were expecting their second child in April during a 60 Minutes interview. 

"Lucy and I are very proud grandparents," Mr Turnbull told Liz Little. "We’re happy to show you on our smartphones endlessly, as you know." 

The Turnbulls’ daughter Daisy and her husband James Brown have a four-year-old son, Jack, and one-year-old daughter, Alice.
