Actress Rachael Leigh Cook and her husband Daniel Gillies have welcomed a baby girl, which Gillies confirmed on Twitter.

The first-time dad tweeted:

No other details have been released, so the newborn’s name isn’t known yet. The Perception star revealed she was expecting her first child back in May, when she could no longer conceal her growing baby bump.

Barely two weeks ago, Cook talked about being pregnant, saying on Marla Sokoloff's Celebrity Baby Blog, "One of the best things about gestation is that people tell you that you look great, even when it is far from true. That said, I don't turn down a compliment, so thank you!"

She also previously explained that she and her Vampire Diaries husband, whom she married in 2004, didn’t originally want to find out the sex of the baby but they had a change of heart.

"We didn't plan to (find out) initially, but my husband and I have largely been apart for this thing, which was very difficult on several levels, so finding out the sex seemed like a good way to make it all seem more real,” she said, WPTV reports.

Cook and Gillies got married in 2004.
