Shameless star Jeremy Allen White becomes a father

‘Shameless’ star Jeremy Allen White has become a father.
The 27-year-old actor – who has played Phillip ‘Lip’ Gallagher in the critically-acclaimed US sitcom since 2011 – and his girlfriend Addison Timlin welcomed baby daughter Ezer Billie White into the world on Saturday (20.10.18).
Sharing two adorable pictures of their new addition to the family laying on his and his partner in a hospital bed on Instagram, he captioned the post: "Ezer Billie White 10.20.2018 Welcome to the world baby girl, it just got so much brighter. (sic)"
The couple announced they were expecting their first child in a sweet post on the photo-sharing app in June.
At the time, Addison, also 27, wrote: "We made a baby and my heart is bursting at the seams.
"Today is my birthday but my wish already came true. This is 27 and the best is yet to come."
The pair have documented their journey to parenthood on Instagram and, earlier this month, Addison revealed that Dakota Johnson will be their little girl’s godmother.
Sharing a picture of her with the actress at a bowling alley to celebrate the ‘Fifty Shades Freed’ star’s birthday, in which the latter placed a bowling ball in front of her stomach to match her pal’s baby bump, Addison wrote: "Happy birthday to my baby’s godmother (sic)."
Jeremy and Addison first met when they starred in the 2008 movie ‘Afterschool’ and started seeing each other years later.
Meanwhile, Dakota recently had to quash rumours she is expecting a child with boyfriend Chris Martin.
She quipped: "Well, the only thing I’m pregnant with is a lot of really good ideas, but not any babies."
The ‘Suspiria’ star sparked speculation she was pregnant after a number of stars turned up to what was reported to be a gender reveal party that had seen blue balloons fly into the air, supposedly to indicate she’s having a boy, but Dakota explained it was her birthday celebration and the decorations were accidentally released to the sky.
She said: "It was my birthday and there were balloons that happened to be pink and blue, and so then I was pregnant?
"I didn’t know that the balloons were going to be released, they were just in an arch. But I guess that accidentally happened, one of the ends got let go. But a lot of people congratulated me."
