Ellen Pompeo has become a mother for the second time.
The 'Grey's Anatomy' actress announced via her WhoSay account yesterday (02.10.14) that she and husband Chris Ivery - with who she already has five-year-old daughter Stella - had welcomed baby Sienna into the world via a surrogate, though it is unclear when the little girl was born.
She wrote alongside a photo of her husband kissing the baby:
"Sienna May Ivery welcome to the world. We love you more than words can say."
She later added on Twitter: "Sienna was born via surrogate & I would like to thank my whole @ShondalandTV family for helping us enjoy these first few weeks privately [love] U.(sic)"
The 44-year-old actress recently admitted she was considering quitting acting when she finally decides to depart her 'Grey's Anatomy' role of Meredith Grey - who she has played since 2005 - as she has no "strong desire" to find new roles.
She said: "I definitely feel myself transitioning. I don't find acting terribly empowering. For the place I am in my life, I think my age, once I hit 40, I feel differently. I don't necessarily want to work for other people."
However, the Golden Globe winner - who has starred as Meredith Grey on the medical drama since 2005 - refused to confirm that she would be quitting acting for good.
When asked if the end of 'Grey's Anatomy' could mark the end of her acting career, she said: "Oh, absolutely. I mean, never say never, I'm not going to come out and make one of those statements like, 'I'm retiring after...' and then in February come back. I try to keep an open heart, an open mind, an open soul and spirit to whatever comes my way and whatever is meant to be for me will be."

Kelly Brook will bare all in front of a live audience for her new US TV show.
The 34-year-old beauty portrays Prudence in 'One Big Happy' and will shoot nude scenes as the "uninhibited" "sexy Mary Poppins" character tomorrow (04.10.14) and she won't be doing so on a closed set.
A show insider told The Sun newspaper: "It's a bonus that she's confident and comfortable showing off her body as the character Prudence has no inhibitions.
"The nude scene will be tastefully shot."
Kelly has already impressed bosses on 'One Big Happy' - which was created by talk show host Ellen DeGeneres and also stars 'Love Actually' actress Elisha Cuthbert - with her work so far.
The source added: "Producers thought Kelly was brilliant and very funny."
Following her dramatic split for her fiance David McIntosh late last month, the model-turned-actress has been staying positive by sharing snippets of her experience on the social networking site, Twitter.
After posting about their break up, she tweeted: "Positive changes- Good people -Happy Life- Creative Work. (sic)"

Lady Gaga got a new tattoo to "honour her fans".
The 'Just Dance' singer has revealed her new body art as a tribute to her fans, or as they are affectionately know, her little monsters.
The 28-year-old shared a photo of the ink work - which is located on her back - on Instagram, where she captioned the picture: "#Monster4Life (sic)
She later wrote on Twitter: "I got this Tattoo to honor my fans, u are special, loyal & I'm humbled everyday how lucky I am to have you. Paws Up I'll be a #monster4life (sic)"
The tattoo is of a claw which is covered in lace and beads, this is likely a reference to her catachphrase, 'paws up' which she often does at concerts. Lady Gaga got the new addition to her body art collection done by the renowned artist, Eric Gonzalez, who also shared a photo of the singer lounging on a table before he started working on her tattoo.
The singer is currently in Germany as part of the European leg of her ArtRave: The ArtPop Ball tour.

Mel B won't "mother" her 'X Factor' contestants.
The former Spice Girl - who is mentoring the boys category on this year's series of the ITV singing competition - believes in tough love when it comes to getting the best out of her contestants and says she isn't there to baby sit them.
She told The Sun newspaper: "Boys can do whatever they want, they are boys. As long as they are respectful about it and whoever they are with, who am I to say anything?
"I'm not their mother. They are responsible for themselves.
"You show up to work and you prepare yourself. What you do in your personal life is up to you, as long as it doesn't affect your work."
Although the 39-year-old singer is a self-professed "hard-**s" she insists she is open to providing emotional support for the boys if they come to her.
She explained: "I can be a hard-**s, a bad-**s, and I can be very emotional and very connected.
"I'm not working with girls -- I expect them to be emotional and open up, but boys are boys.
"You can't force a boy to tell you how he's feeling. If they want to tell me, they can tell me ."
The brunette beauty - who sits beside Simon Cowell, Cheryl Fernandez-Versini and Louis Walsh on the panel - revealed all the judges are "hungry' for success on this year's competition but is unsure who will take the crown, stating, "Anyone could win."
She explained: "All of our judging styles are pretty different and that's why this panel works. We respect each other and agree to disagree. We can have a little bit of a fight and laugh about it two seconds later but still have our point to prove.
"Everyone is hungry for that competition. That competitiveness is inside all four of us.
"They're all dark horses and we've all got really strong categories. Anyone could win."

James 'Arg' Argent and Lydia Bright have "made love" recently, despite being "just friends".
The former couple - who split in 2012 - have grown increasingly close in recent months, and while the 24-year-old beauty insists their relationship is purely platonic, her former boyfriend insists there is more to it that being pals.
Arg - who shared a kiss with Lydia in the last episode of 'TOWIE' - said: "We've had some kisses and cuddles and yes, we've made love.
"Some days Lydia tries to keep our relationship as just friends, but then we'll get close again."
And Arg admits he declares his feelings to his former flame every day, and she occasionally reciprocates.
He added to Closer magazine: "I tell Lydia I love her every day. She's cautious because of everything that happened but she's said she loves me too."
While Lydia knows fans are keen for the pair to reunite, she still can't get past the fact he cheated on her, sparking the end of their relationship two years ago.
She said: "I know people are excited about us potentially getting back together, but I don't think Ill ever get over what happened. Right now we're friends."

Nitin Ganatra has teased "fireworks" for Masood's family in 'EastEnders'
The actor - who plays Masood Ahmed in the BBC soap - has suggested that viewers should expect tension between his character and his on-screen daughter Shabnam Masood (Rakhee Thakrar) following her return from Pakistan.
Talking to BANG Showbiz at the Inside Soap Awards (01.10.14), Nitin explained: "[There are] lots of father-daughter fireworks coming up. Shabnam has come back from Pakistan with a very head-strong attitude and it's kind of put the laid back Masood on his back foot."
The 46-year-old went on to state that the friction between the two characters will expose parts of Masood's personality which haven't been shown before, as he struggles to deal with Shabnam's behaviour.
He continued: "She's a feisty young lady who tells her dad what to do. I think the storylines developing at the moment will kind of be exploring that relationship between father and daughter and switching the roles a little bit hopefully.
"We might see a darker Masood, a bit more possessive with his daughter than you usually expect Masood to be. So they're going to be exploring this, we might see a wilder side to Shabnam, so everything might get flipped on its head."
The Kenyan-born actor who has appeared in the soap since 2007, also expressed his frustration about being part of the only Asian family on Albert Square, admitting that he feels pressured to represent all elements of Asian culture.
He explained: "It's a very diverse culture, being Asian, so being the only Asian family does have a certain pressure on it.
Diversity is when you don't notice how many different cultures there are on TV, because it's not under a microscope. When there's only one, it's going to be too much pressure."

Ben Affleck is reportedly in talks to star in 'The Accountant'.
The 42-year-old actor is believed to be in negotiations with Warner Bros. about the long-developing thriller, which has been written by Bill DuBuque, reports Variety magazine.
The plot of 'The Accountant' follows the story of an average bookkeeper who in his spare time, becomes a lethal assassin.
After success directing 'Argo' - for which he picked up a Golden Globe for 'Best Director' amongst other awards - Ben signed up to direct period crime drama, 'Live By Night'.
However, it is expected to be delayed further due to Ben's roles in 'Gone Girl' and 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice', with production now expected to begin in July 2015.
Meanwhile, Ben has revealed that his children are unimpressed with his upcoming starring role as Batman, because they prefer 'Frozen' to superhero films.
The actor - who has three children with wife Jennifer Garner - Violet, eight, Seraphina, five, and two-year-old son Samuel - are all obsessed with the 2013 Disney animated movie.
He said: ''Because of the fact I'm playing Batman now, people say, 'Are your kids into it?' The truth is, they're not. If I was doing the sequel to 'Frozen' I would be a hero.
"My two older daughters couldn't give a s**t about Batman and they've now passed that affection onto my son. He's always like, 'Papa, can I watch Frozen?' And I'm like, 'No, dude, it's not on again!'"

Dwanye Johnson is in talks to star in 'Baywatch'.
The actor and former wrestler is said to be "loosely attached" to the upcoming film adaptation of the iconic lifeguard show following the emergence of rumours linking him to the production.
While Dwayne, 47, is yet to confirm his role in the movie, sources have confirmed that 'Horrible Bosses 2' director Sean Anders and writer John Morris are on board, reports The Hollywood Reporter.
Justin Malen has also been called in to pen the script for the remake of the adaptation of the hit 90s show set on a stretch of California beach.
Meanwhile, Dwayne has been kept busy shooting 'Fast & Furious 7' - which is set to be released on April 3 next year - and has hailed the seventh instalment of the action movie franchise as "incredible".
The hunky actor who recently starred in 'Guardians of the Galaxy' - teased the trailer to the new movie, saying watching the promo was "emotional and bittersweet", referring specifically to an image of himself with late co-star Paul Walker.
His post reads: "Universal came to visit, to show the trailer for FF7. Speechless... yeah, it was that INCREDIBLE! (sic)"
The 47-year-old actor added that he wished Walker was around to see the new film for himself.
He said: "I must also say, that it was emotional and bittersweet."
The movie boasts a star-studded cast which also includes Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Jason Statham and Kurt Russell.

Joan Rivers' daughter is suing a doctor over her death.
Melissa Rivers, 46, is taking legal action against throat specialist Dr Gwen Korovin, who was allegedly unauthorised to practise at the Yorkville Endoscopy Clinic in Manhattan where Joan passed away after a routine endoscopy caused her to go into cardiac arrest last month.
Although the medical centre's director Dr Lawrence Cohen stepped down following the death of the star aged 88, it is believed Dr Korovin has continued working and accepting new patients at the practice.
A close friend of the Rivers family told MailOnline: "Melissa does plan to sue the clinic. It's very difficult to discuss something so unpleasant with her, but she is going to launch a lawsuit."
According to CNN, clinic workers claim both Dr Cohen and Dr Korovin were treating the late star in the hours leading up to her death with Dr Korovin performing an initial laryngoscopy followed by an endoscopy to help determine the cause of a sore throat and hoarseness she was suffering from.
Dr Cohen then ordered Dr Korovin to perform a second endoscopy and laryngoscopy - during which Joan's vocal chords are said to have swollen, cutting off the oxygen supply to her lungs and leading to the cardiac arrest that killed her.
Melissa claims Dr Korovin was unauthorised to practise the procedure and was only meant to observe Dr Cohen as she was not certified to practise by the clinic and therefore outside of the regulations of New York health law.
However, the upper east side clinic is denying reports that the vocal chord biopsy was performed.

Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher have named their baby daughter Wyatt Isabelle Kutcher.
Ashton, 36, made the announcement on his website yesterday (02.10.14) and added that he hopes the tot's life - who was welcomed by her parents earlier this week - will be filled with "wonder", "love" and "privacy".
He wrote: "Mila and I would like to welcome Wyatt Isabelle Kutcher to the world. May your life be filled with wonder, love, laughter, health, happiness, curiosity, and privacy."
The 'Two and a Half Man' star also uploaded multiple shots of newborns asking fans to guess which of the babies was their own.
He joked: "Can you guess which one is ours, or does it really matter? All babies are cute."
Mila, 31, and Wyatt are said to be "healthy and happy" following the birth at Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre in Los Angeles.
A source close to Ashton and the 'Black Swan' actress - who started dating her former 'That 70s Show' co-star in 2012 and got engaged to him earlier this year - confirmed news of the birth, saying: "She's here and healthy."

Anna Faris and Chris Pratt got married because they had food poisoning.
The couple - who have two-year-old son Jack together - tied the knot during a holiday in Bali five years ago and the 37-year-old actress admits it was a spontaneous decision after noticing an advertisement on a room service menu.
She said: "I didn't even plan my wedding. We were in Bali suffering from food poisoning - the really rough kind, you know, sharing the toilet.
"I was looking for chicken broth on the room service menu and saw the hotel also did weddings.
"While still feverish, Chris said, 'Let's do it.' So the staff found us some traditional Balinese clothes and a local priest. We had no idea what was going on but we came back married."
While the 'Mom' star is very spontaneous, she hates being surprised.
She told Stylist magazine: "I would ban surprise parties [if I was queen]. One of the things about being in comedy is that it's made me a happier person and not so easily offended.
"I do love to have a good time and I am up for an adventure but I am kind of controlling so no surprise parties please."

Lindsay Lohan relaxes with meditation.
The 28-year-old actress finds it "hard" to shut herself off and relax but is slowly learning ways to calm down and retreat from her hectic life.
She said: "I have some meditations so I tend to do those quite a lot.
"Music is always something that calms me too. At the moment I really love 'Sunday (Klangtherapeuten Remix)' by Max Manie.
"I do Deepak Chopra's 21-day Meditation. It's the most personal thing I can think of that I have for myself. Just being able to shut off.
"It's a hard process, but I've been practising it for a while now and it does work."
The 'Mean Girls' star - who has been to rehab six times - has reevaluated her life and always tries to do her best, and will take measures to be "selfish" if she feels she is heading down the wrong path.
She told Britain's Marie Claire magazine: "Every day I think, 'What's more important? What makes me happy? When do I feel my best? When do I feel I'm giving my best? Am I making other people happy? How can I make other people happy?'
"They are the general guidelines I try to live by. You know, it sounds selfish but you do have to put yourself first.
"There are certain jobs where you don't have to show up and put a face on but you do in the industry I work in. So it's about stepping back and recognising if things do start slipping a little bit, how to get back to the same part of life and just being OK with being alone."
