Eliza Dushku has given birth to her first child.
The ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ star and her husband Peter Palandjian have welcomed son Philip into the world, and she shared a picture of the little one being held up while wearing a lion onesie, in a reference to Simba’s birth in ‘The Lion King’ movie.
She wrote on Instagram: "Our BABY = #Bourne
"Can you feel the love, Philip "Bourne" !? (sic)"
The 38-year-old actress – who played Faith in the US supernatural drama and spin-off ‘Angel’ – revealed in February she was expecting her first child with Peter, who has four children from previous relationships.
She said at the time: "We’re just very excited. We just got married in August. It’s a special year for us.
"I’m newly married and I’m just so excited about this next chapter in my life. You know, I’ve been acting since I was nine years old and I’m sort of finding these new things that I’m really excited about. It’s been a big year but a great year."
The happy couple wed in the courtyard of the Boston Public Library last August, a year after announcing their engagement.
The ‘True Lies’ actress shared photos of her wedding on Instagram a month after the nuptials, and in June 2017, she showed off pictures from 54-year-old Peter’s proposal.
On the engagement pictures, she wrote: ""#Ayo..! "YES!!" Absolutely, my love#BostonBorn #BostonBred #BostonSoonToBeWed (sic)"
Eliza previously dated former LA Lakers basketball player Rick Fox, 47, but they decided to go their separate ways in 2014 after five years together.
