He’s the new prince of Kings County.
The first New York City baby of 2021 was born at the stroke of midnight in Brooklyn.
Weighing 6 lbs. 11 oz. and measuring 19 inches, Jaxel Rodriguez came into the world at 12 a.m. Friday at Coney Island Hospital, according to NYC Health + Hospitals.
The punctual bundle of joy is the third child of Ivett Rodriguez and Antonio Guilbert.
The Brooklyn parents called Jaxel “the best gift of the new year.”
The first-of-the-year honors were split last year by a pair of newborns in Brooklyn and Staten Island — both delivered exactly at midnight.
