Emily In Parisstar Lily Collins has welcomed a baby girl via surrogacy.
Lily took to social media to share an adorable picture of the baby, wearing a camel-colored onesie as she lay in a moses basket. She wore a knitted cap covered in flowers, and the basket had a blanket on the side with her name embroidered on the side.
"Welcome to the center of our world Tove Jane McDowell," wrote Lily, sharing her gorgeous name.
"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."
Lily is the daughter of Phil Collins
Lily's reveal came a day after she honored her father Phil Collins who turned 74. It was an emotional day for the actress and her father, as they welcomed the next generation of the Collins family to the world.
"From a west coast star to the West End stage and everywhere in between — I’m so grateful to be by your side and for the support, experiences, and love we have and will continue to share," Lily wrote.
"The older I get, the greater I appreciate all the little, special moments spent together. Happy birthday Dad. I couldn’t love you more or be more thankful to celebrate you today and every day. Truly. To the moon and back again."
The use of the phrase, "to the moon and back again," mean it is clearly an important one to the family, as Lily also used it when discussing her newborn.
