Leighton Meester and Adam Brody Welcome a Baby Girl:
Earlier today, E! News confirmed that Leighton
Meester and Adam Brody have welcomed their first
child together, and now, we can reveal additional
details about the birth--including the wee one's
name.
The former Gossip Girl star welcomed daughter
Arlo Day Brody on August 4 at 12:12 a.m. at Whittier
Hospital in Whittier, Calif. The notoriously private
couple has not commented publicly on the birth of
their baby girl.
Brody and Meester are pros at staying out their
public eye. Not only did they manage to keep the
birth of their daughter under wraps for almost two
months before media caught wind of the occasion,
but they also surprised us all by tying the knot in a
top-secret ceremony in February 2014.
Additionally, fans weren't able to spy the Gossip
Girl alumna's glowing baby bump until early July
when Meester (who, at the time, was ready to pop!)
was spotted grabbing a bite to eat in Los Angeles
with a girlfriend.
The 29-year-old That's My Boy star and the 35-
year-old O.C. actor got engaged in November, just
nine months after it was first revealed they were an
item. The couple, who starred in the 2014 film Life
Partners together, met on the set of 2011's The
Oranges.
While Meester and Brody have never spoken about
each other publicly, the brunette stunner previously
revealed to InStyle U.K. that her priorities have
changed significantly since tying the knot.
"My values have shifted greatly in terms of what I
find important," she shared. "It's my family, my
friends and having a personal life. Those are the
things that need nurturing."
Although we may never know the significance of
little Arlo's name, her birth is extremely significant
to both the Gossip Girl and the O.C. fandoms.
Case in point? Gossip Girl fans are over the moon
about Blair Waldorf (Meester) and Serena van der
Woodsen (actress Blake Lively gave birth to
daughter James just before the New Year in 2014)
finally being mommies at the same time while O.C.
fan are reveling in the fact that Seth Cohen (Brody)
and Ryan Atwood (actor Ben Mackenzie is
expecting a child with Gotham co-star Morena
Baccarin) are both becoming fathers.
Congrats to the happy couple!
