Kerry Washington has given birth to a baby girl.
The 'Scandal' star - who revealed her pregnancy last October - secretly welcomed her first child, Isabella Amarachi, with husband Nnamdi Asomugha into the world at a hospital in Los Angeles on April 21, according to gossip website TMZ.com.
A source also told PEOPLE.com: "Kerry is at home with the baby."
Nnamdi, 32, signed the birth certificate more than a week after the birth.
The 37-year-old actress married the former San Francisco 49ers in a secret ceremony last July and previously admitted she was thrilled to be expecting their first baby.
She said: "I feel really, really blessed. It just feels like a really good time."
The actress, who celebrated her baby shower with 40 friends at producer and writer Shonda Rhimes' mansion in late February, recently said that being pregnant had made her a better actress.
She said: "I work very physically as an actor. The biggest thing for me has been the challenge of how to be this person with the personal transformation that's going on for me physically and how to stay true to this character. That hasn't been easy."
But Kerry, who won praise for her maternity style, added: "It's been an awesome challenge for me as an actor because so much of how I access character is through my body. It's definitely been complicated, to say the least."

George Clooney's friends credit Stacy Keibler for helping him to get over his fear of commitment.
The 'Gravity' star, who proposed to British lawyer Amal Alamuddin on April 22 after just a few months of dating, amicably split from the former wrestler last July after two years together but his pals believe she taught him a lot about relationships.
A source told PEOPLE magazine: "She was one of the first women he's dated who had her own life. She was sweet and had a very good heart, and he was attracted to that."
The insider explained that George was "relieved" when he started dating the 34-year-old blonde beauty because "he didn't seem completely happy" after ending his two-year relationship with Italian presenter Elisabetta Canalis in 2011.
And after his split from Stacy, the actor, who previously swore off marriage following his divorce from Talia Balsam in 1993, "was calmer and seemed more open."
The insider added: "He was in a place to meet the woman he would be with for the rest of his life.
"He has matured and evolved, and he has found someone who can keep up with him.
"He respects that she is not remotely involved in his world. She seems to have no interest in a Hollywood life in the spotlight."
Stacy has also moved on and is expecting her first child with her new husband, Jared Pobre, later this year.
Meanwhile, George, 52, was an instant hit with Amal's family and they weren't surprised by their whirlwind engagement.
A friend said: "(They) weren't surprised that this is such a lightning relationship. They found George very easy to get a long with, cool. They felt at ease with him immediately."
The couple are in "no rush" to tie the knot and neither of them "has ever talked about wanting kids," but a family member said they are toying with the idea of a September wedding.

Billy Ray Cyrus says Miley Cyrus is "feeling much better."
The 21-year-old singer was hospitalised on April 15 after suffering a severe allergic reaction to Cephalexin, an antibiotic prescribed for the flu, and was forced to reschedule a number of 'Bangerz' world tour dates, but is finally ready to get back on stage.
Her father told reporters backstage at the iHeart Radio Music Awards on Thursday (01.05.14), where he picked up the Best Lyrics prize for her song 'Wrecking Ball' on her behalf: "She's doing much better, thank you for asking. You know, right now we're just getting her back, healthy. She had an allergic reaction to antibiotics. She's feeling much, much better. The tour resumes this weekend, and the 'Bangerz' train is back on track."
The 'Adore You' hitmaker will take to the stage in London next Tuesday night (06.05.14) for the first time since being hospitalised.
Miley rescheduled the final six dates of the US leg of her tour, and the first two dates of the European leg after her doctors advised her not to travel.
Earlier this week, the star admitted her health issues had really scared her.
She said: "I was on this medicine for five days and everything was all good and on the sixth day, I just woke up, it was so scary. I had basically been poisoning myself with something I didn't know I was really scary allergic to.
"I couldn't breathe and my skin - everything - was going insane."

The 'Hard Out Here' singer, who has turned 29, took to Twitter to tell her followers she was leaving the social networking site alone to celebrate her birthday weekend.

Justin Theroux has "drunken tattoo nights" with Scott Campbell.
The 42-year-old actor, who has a number of inkings across his body, has etched a few designs on the famous artist in the past but he admits he was under the influence of alcohol, so the artwork didn't go according to plan.
Speaking to Vanity Fair magazine, he explained: "We became friends first, and then we had a couple drunken tattoo nights. And I've tattooed him, too, by the way ...
"I've done a bunch of them. I did a really great wolf's head. I did an amazing skull and crossbones. I did a stunning yin-yang on him. I messed every single one of them up. But he kind of likes it. I did a yin-yang, which is probably one of the worst yin-yangs. We laughed so hard. It might be one of the worst yin-yangs ever made. A little bit egg-shaped."
The hunky star's tattoos are plastered across his back and legs, but he insists he doesn't regret any of them.
He explained: "Not one [of them I regret]. I'm riddled with them; I'm ruined with tattoos."
Justin prefers to let Scott, who is married to Lake Bell, come up with the designs because he's got better ideas.
He added: "I get a couple of little ideas, but I know Scott's taste is so much better than mine ... so I usually throw out a few buckshot ideas, and then let him go back to the lab and scribble out a couple of drawings ... He did my entire back, and I've never looked back. I was just, like, 'Do whatever the hell you want. You lay it out how you want.' He's got such an incredible aesthetic."

She said: "I love wearing my little vintage peasant dresses, but I garden in the morning and I'm really cold in the morning. I end up with a North Face [jacket], my husband's baseball cap, colourful sweatpants that I slept in the night before, and leopard slippers."

Charlize Theron credits Seth MacFarlane for reigniting her love of acting.
The 38-year-old actress admits she was feeling disillusioned with her career until she teamed up with the 'Family Guy' creator for Western comedy 'A Million Ways to Die in the West', which was also written and directed by Seth.
She said: "I'd gone through like a two-year period where I wasn't really enjoying making movies anymore. And this movie really just shook me and made me realise how much I love it. I owe a lot of that to Seth."
The movie sees Seth portray a cowardly sheep farmer who Charlize's character helps regain his confidence and the 'Ted' star joked their onscreen relationship reflected their real-life bond.
He told the New York Times newspaper: "That wasn't much of a stretch for me. I won't even get on the freeway without my navigator.
"There was a parallel between my personal experience on the movie, for my virgin effort at being on camera, and the story itself.
"As we went along, Charlize was the one person I could quietly turn to, and say, 'Hey, did that seem good to you, or was it too James Brolin?' I don't know why I just said that. He's never done anything to me. Sorry, James Brolin, I think you're great."
