Tom Delonge welcomes 2nd child - family a greater priority than Blink-182

Former Blink-182 guitarist Tom Delonge and his wife, Jennifer, have welcomed their second child on Wednesday (August 16) in Los Angeles, People reports. Jonas Rocket DeLonge weighed 7 lbs. 13 oz., and measured 20 1/2 inches. Delonge, who also has a 4-year-old daughter, Ava Elizabeth, acknowledges that one of the reasons he left Blink-182 is because he no longer wanted to tour as much as bandmates Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker did. But the guitarist told us that he has no regrets that his family became a greater priority than the band: "I found myself at a kind of crossroads in my life where I couldn't see myself doing this the same way I've been doing it with the Blink guys 'cause I was constantly compromising being with my family or just being the family man I wanted to be. I couldn't do it anymore. It just wasn't worth it to me."

Blink-182 announced its "indefinite hiatus" in 2005. Barker recorded a second album with his side band, the Transplants, before focusing on a new band with Hoppus, Plus 44. Their debut album, tentatively titled Little Death, is due out later this year.

Hoppus and Barker have criticized Delonge in recent interviews for trying to take control of Blink-182's affairs to accommodate his own agenda.

Delonge was on the road this year with his new band, Angels & Airwaves, promoting the group's debut album We Don't Need to Whisper.
