Star gives birth, announces marriage

Jennifer Love Hewitt has given birth to a baby girl, and revealed that she has secretly tied the knot.

The 34-year-old actress and her Client List co-star husband Brian Hallisay welcomed their first child, Autumn James Hallisay, into the world on Tuesday (26 November), her spokesperson announced.

In a statement to Us Weekly, the star’s rep said: "Jennifer Love Hewitt and her husband Brian Hallisay are thrilled to announce the birth of their daughter. Autumn James Hallisay was born on 26 November."

A source revealed that the couple – who got engaged in June this year – "got married recently in private".

The newlyweds had chosen to keep the sex of their baby a secret until the birth, and Hewitt celebrated at a gender-neutral baby shower last month, surrounded by 24 of her closest female friends and relatives.

A source said: "There were flowers galore and about two dozen guests.  It was a very girly affair."

News of the couple’s new arrival comes just weeks after The Client List was cancelled after two seasons.
