Kerry Washington has secretly given birth! The Scandal star and husband Nnamdi Asomugha welcomed a baby girl on April 21, reports TMZ.

While her rep has remained mum on the new mom, saying she does not comment on her client's personal matters, a source close to the star confirmed the baby news. "Kerry recently had her baby," the source said.

The low-profile started their under-the-radar romance during the summer of 2012. The duo were married in a quiet ceremony in Hailey, Idaho in June 2013. News broke that 36-year-old actress and the former NFL player were expecting in late October. However, it wasn't until the 2014 Golden Globes in January when she first showed off her growing baby bump.

The third season of Scandal was cut back from 22 episodes to 18 episodes so that the actress could focus on her new role as a mother.
