Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger have welcomed their first child together, a baby girl named Lyla.

Pratt confirmed the happy news in an Instagram post, sharing a photo of his newborn daughter's hand.

"We are beyond thrilled to announce the birth of our daughter, Lyla Maria Schwarzenegger Pratt," he wrote.

"We couldn't be happier. Both mom and baby are doing great. We are extremely blessed. Love Katherine and Chris."

Katherine’s brother Patrick previously revealed news of the birth in a video obtained by Entertainment Tonight on Sunday.

“They’re doing great, [I] just got her a little gift,” he said in the clip, recorded at a farmers market in Santa Barbara, California.

The 26-year-old actor then showed off a package wrapped with a pink ribbon for the camera, before getting into a car and driving off.

Katherine’s father Arnold and mother Maria Shriver were photographed arriving at their daughter’s home over the weekend.

The couple started dating in 2018 and tied the knot at San Ysidro ranch in California last June.

Guardians of the Galaxy star Pratt, 41, is already father to seven-year-old son Jack, who he shares with ex-wife Anna Faris.

Katherine, 30, and Pratt largely kept the news of the pregnancy out of the public eye, though Shriver eventually broke the news when her son-in-law appeared on her Instagram Live interview series in April.

Pratt only recent addressed the news on his social media accounts as his wife neared her due date, sharing an Instagram post praising the launch of her new podcast.

“So proud of my darling for her amazing podcast,” he wrote.

“Nine months pregnant, in quarantine and still working her butt off. Check it out. Based on her NY Times best-selling book! I’m a lucky lucky man.”
