Baby joy for Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds

BLAKE Lively gave birth to her and Ryan Reynolds’ first child over the holidays.

Page Six reports the 27-year-old actress and the 38-year-old actor welcomed a baby girl near their home in Bedford, NY, just before the new year.

The couple named their newborn daughter Violet, according to a tweet from someone who claims to work at Westchester Medical Center, but this is yet to be confirmed by the pair.

The baby arrived earlier than expected, but we’re told that mum and baby are both healthy and doing well.

Lively, who has looked stunning as an expectant mum, said in October that pregnancy was a dream come true for her.

Lively and Reynolds hit the red carpet back in October.

According to one source, Lively’s parents, Ernie and Elaine Lively, are currently with the couple and their baby girl at home in Bedford.

The blonde beauty told Us Weekly, “Its something that I’ve always wanted ever since I was a little girl … I knew I wanted to have a lot of kids because I had come from a big family so it was always important to me. So it’s just the excitement of that finally being here.”

A rep for Lively, Leslie Sloane, repeatedly declined to comment, claiming the actress and Reynolds could not be reached.

Lively and Reynolds married in 2012.
