Lily Collins has revealed that she has welcomed her first child with her husband Charlie McDowell.
The Emily in Paris actress announced the happy news on Friday explaining that their little one, a baby girl, was delivered by a surrogate.
She also shared a first look at their beautiful daughter, posting a cute picture of their baby asleep and swaddled in blankets with her hand sweetly resting on her mum’s.
On her little head is a stylish cap embroidered with flowers that would get the seal of approval from her on-screen alter ego.
To the right is a blanket with her name on it and Lily and Charlie have chosen a lovely name for their little girl.
They have settled on Tove which is believed to have evolved from an ancient Norse girl’s name.
The name means ‘beloved’ or ‘beautiful’ while an alternative Hebrew interpretation of the name suggests it comes from the name Toya which symbolizes goodness.
Tove’s middle name is Jane, just like her mum.
Commenting on her under-the-wraps arrival Lily shared her immense gratitude to her surrogate for carrying Tove safely into the world.
She wrote: ‘Welcome to the centre of our world Tove Jane McDowell.
‘Words will never express our endless gratitude for our incredible surrogate and everyone who helped us along the way. We love you to the moon and back again.’
The announcement comes a day after she paid tribute to her own dad, Phil Collins on his birthday.
