Billy Corgan is sort of America’s version of Morrissey. Billy hates most things and most people, and he spends a lot of time bitching about everything in interviews. I honestly didn’t know Corgan was currently in a relationship, but he is. His girlfriend (seen above) is Chloe Mendel, a singer-songwriter. She’s 22 years old. Billy is 48. Would you like to feel old? The year that Smashing Pumpkins released their widely acclaimed album Siamese Dream was the same year that Billy Corgan’s girlfriend was born: 1993. Seriously. And now Chloe and Billy have a baby.

How smashing: Musician Billy Corgan is a dad! The singer-songwriter and Chloe Mendel welcomed their first child, son Augustus Juppiter Corgan, on Monday, Nov. 16, his rep confirms to PEOPLE. Mendel managed to keep the pregnancy under wraps and no other details surrounding their baby boy’s birth have been released.

Corgan, 48, who is best known as the founder and frontman of the ’90s alternative rock band The Smashing Pumpkins, is also a poet. New York City native Mendel, 22, is an artist and the daughters of fashion designers Gilles Mendel and Jenny Mui.

The new dad has had a bit of practice in the parenting field: Corgan has posed with his adopted cats, Sammi and Mr. Thom, in the past while advocating for animal rights.

Hm…so, Chloe Mendel has famous parents. Parents who might have listened to Smashing Pumpkins during her childhood? Perhaps. As for the baby’s name… quite honestly, I don’t have a problem with Augustus, and if they call him Gus, Augie or August, that’s just a bonus as far as I’m concerned. But Juppiter? With two Ps? NOPE. Juppiter with two Ps belongs in a Tyler Perry Medea movie. Anyway, congrats to Billy and Chloe. Sigh…
