Zooey Deschanel is now a wife and mother.
The New Girl star, who plays unlucky-in-love Jess Day in the hit comedy, has given birth to a “beautiful, healthy” baby girl – her first child with new husband Jacob Pechenik.
The actress’ spokeswoman Lauren Auslander confirmed the news about the pregnancy and the marriage, but didn’t provide any other details.
It is the second marriage for Zooey, who was previously married to Death Cab For Cutie rocker Ben Gibbard. The couple divorced in 2012.
Zooey – the younger sister of actress Emily – is best known as the Emmy-nominated star of TV’s New Girl, although she has also acted in films such as Elf and (500) Days Of Summer.
The 35-year-old star also writes and performs music with the indie folk duo She & Him and co-founded the popular website HelloGiggles.com.
Jacob is a film producer whose credits include The Skeleton Twins and Rock The Kasbah, the latter of which Zooey stars in.
