Casey and Adriana Stoner have had a baby girl Alessandra born at 9:55pm on 16/2/2011 (coincidentally Rossi's birthday!). Congrats to the Stoners and wish them all the best.
I imagine the original topic of this thread has something to do with it. He's always been open about the fact he isn't the type to stay forever.
