Four months after announcing they were expecting with the cutest viral video ever, Justin Baldoni and his wife, Emily, have welcomed their first child, his rep confirms exclusively to Us Weekly.
Their baby girl, Maiya Grace Baldoni, was born on Saturday, June 27. Little Maiya weighed in at 8 pounds and was 21 inches.
“The birth of our little Maiya was the most beautiful and spiritual experience we have ever had,” the couple tells Us exclusively. “Having her at home in our bed and being able to sing and pray as she entered this world while holding her in the quiet of our home is something we will cherish forever. Our hearts are exploding with love… ‘In the world of existence there is no more powerful magnet than the magnet of love. – ‘Abdu’l-Bahá.'”
Prior to becoming parents, Baldoni, 31, who plays Jane the Virgin’s biological baby daddy in the hit CW series which returns in October, took his ladylove on a babymoon this past April.

It was amazing,” he gushed to Us at the 36th College Television Awards. “I’m a Baha’i, and so is Emily, and we wanted to be pregnant in the Holy Land there and just absorb the beautiful energy and the prayers and get a chance to experience that,” he added of their trip.

“He’s the master of surprises,” Emily, 30, later told Entertainment Tonight.
