Lily Collins, star of Netflix's Emily in Paris, and her husband, film director Charlie McDowell, have welcomed their first child, a daughter named Tove Jane McDowell, via surrogacy.

The couple shared the joyous news through a joint Instagram post, expressing their deep gratitude to their surrogate and everyone who supported them throughout the process.

Collins, 35, and McDowell, 41, married in 2021, and this marks the couple's first child together.

The actress, best known for her role as Emily Cooper in Emily in Paris, took to Instagram to share a photo of their newborn daughter, who was pictured peacefully sleeping with a blanket displaying her name.

The couple wrote, 'Welcome to the centre of our world, Tove Jane McDowell.

Words will never express our endless gratitude for our incredible surrogate and everyone who helped us along the way.

We love you to the moon and back again.'

The announcement came shortly after Collins had shared a tribute to her father, musician Phil Collins, on his birthday, expressing gratitude for their relationship and memories shared, including photos from her father's Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony in 1999.

Collins, born in Guildford and raised in Los Angeles, has been a well-known figure in the entertainment industry since a young age.

Her role as an American marketing executive in the romantic comedy series Emily in Paris has brought her significant fame.

The show, which follows her character’s life in Paris, was recently renewed for a fifth season.

The location for filming has yet to be disclosed.

In 2022, Collins made her West End stage debut in Barcelona, where she played an American tourist involved in a romantic thriller.

The actress continues to maintain a strong presence both on stage and screen.
