Massive congratulations are in order this evening following the news that a much-loved Hollywood couple have welcomed a child into their lives!

According to numerous reports emerging from the US,  Leighton Meester, who rose to fame for her role in Gossip Girl,  gave birth last week.

27-year-old Leighton, who wed fellow actor and former The O.C star, Adam Brody, during a private ceremony in February last year, decided to buck the celebrity trend and never officially announced they were expecting.

Leighton, who instead let her bump do the talking at public appearances, has, however, always maintained that she wanted to become a mother when the time was right.
 


Opening up about her plans last year, the talented star revealed she was the homely sort, saying: "Most people I know are starting to get married. It’ll be kids next.  I like the grown-up stuff. I like having a house. I’ve got dogs."

Sticking to a pattern which has served them well thus far, the new parents have decided not reveal the gender or name of their new arrival, with representatives refusing to comment on the wonderful news at this time.

Congratulations, guys!
