Shiri Appleby and Jon Shook have welcomed a baby girl.

The Girls star, who plays Natalia in the hit comedy series, gave birth on Saturday 23 March in Los Angeles.

Speaking to Us Weekly, she said: "She's heaven. I'm beyond thrilled."

The actress announced her pregnancy in December, five months after she became engaged to the chef during a trip to Italy.

The couple decided not to find out the gender of their first child until they were born.

"It's really made the whole pregnancy a heightened excitement because you just don't know what it's going to be," she said.

Appleby also opened up about decorating their nursery.

"We got a chandelier, we got a rug and we're looking for drapes. . . We don't want it to look too much like a baby's room," Appleby explained. "We're both on the same page about how we want it to look."

The former Roswell High star went on to praise her husband-to-be for his loving support throughout the pregnancy.

"When you see this guy going to all the doctor's appointments with you, and you tell him you're feeling a certain way, and two minutes later he's looked it up on the internet to tell you that it's normal, you realize that you're really starting a family with somebody," she said. "There's no way to look at that person and not be more in love."
