Leighton Meester and husband Adam Brody have welcomed their first child into the world.

According to reports, the Gossip Girl star, 29, gave birth back on August 4, but the couple are yet to officially confirm the news.

TMZ reports that the acting couple have named their baby daughter Arlo Day, although they are staying tight-lipped about the details.

Despite both starring in two popular TV shows during the 2000s, the pair only met while filming The Oranges in 2011.

They became engaged in November 2103 after a year of dating and tied the knot in a private ceremony in February 2014.

Meester’s Gossip Girl co-star and friend Blake Lively gave birth to her first daughter back in December last year.

Speaking about first time motherhood in an interview with Stylist earlier this year, Lively said:

“I remember leaving the hospital thinking: ‘I have no idea what I am doing. I have a life in my hands and I’m not equipped to do this, because I don’t have the knowledge I need to take care of the most precious, fragile thing in the world’”.

She added: “Losing weight is not something I have spent much time focusing on. With a new baby, it’s just about eating well for her, because everything I eat goes right into her system.

"Our body goes through a lot after pregnancy and birth, so small, gentle workouts feel better.”
