Ever since we found out Leighton Meester was expecting her first child with husband Adam Brody, we’ve been dying to meet the little one. Well, the wait may soon be over because Baby Brody has arrived.
As you probably already know, the pair’s romance is practically fan-fiction worthy. Leighton and Adam met on the set of their film, The Oranges, and began dating in 2013. Their iconic TV characters—she’s obvi Gossip Girl’s Blair Waldorf, our forever role model, and he’s the adorably dorky Seth Cohen from The O.C.—just so happen to hail from the same Josh Schwartz-created universe of teen dramas. They married in 2014, simultaneously prompting us to daydream a world in which their strikingly different alter egos are an item and to ultimately help us believe in love again. Now it appears this family is only getting cuter—if that’s even possible.
The couple never acknowledged that Leighton was pregnant, though images of her with a perfectly rounded belly surfaced making it quite evident. And while the baby’s gender and name were still a mystery at the time this news broke, reports are now claiming the couple welcomed a girl named Arlo Day. Though Arlo is traditionally a boy’s name, it’s recently shifted into the unisex category, much like the name Blake Lively gave her daughter. We’re in love already!
Here’s to you, Arlo. May your life be filled with comic books, macaroons and lots of playdates with James Reynolds!
