We just LOVE this baby news:

Jennifer Love Hewitt and her husband (surprise!) Brian
Hallisay welcomed their first child on Tuesday.

The Client List star shared the news in a statement from her
rep, saying that the couple was thrilled to announce the birth of their
daughter.

The little girl’s name? Autumn James Hallisay.

Originally, the new parents had talked about waiting to get
married until after the baby was born, but given the wording of the birth
announcement, it looks like they changed their minds!

Hewitt, 34, and Hallisay, 35, first met while working on the
short-lived NBC show “Love Bites.”

In a previous interview with People, Hewitt shared her
feelings about motherhood:

“I’ve always
wanted to be a mom. I had a great relationship with mine. I’m ready to pass on
to my child all the great love that my mom had for me.”
