Emmy Rossum surprised fans everywhere by announcing that she is now a mom to a little baby girl. Celebrity pregnancies are always hot news, and fans look forward to following these celebrity moms go through their pregnancy, and they wait anxiously for the baby to be born. A celebrity opening up about their pregnancy journey can help normalize a lot of struggles that pregnant women can face, but just because they are celebrities doesn’t mean that they owe anyone, anything. Some choose to keep their lives as private as possible, and this includes when they are expecting a baby.

According to People, Emmy Rossum has welcomed a baby girl with her husband, Sam Esmail. Emmy is known for her time on the hit show Shameless and the blockbuster hit, The Phantom of the Opera. She can now add ‘mother’ to her resume, but no one even suspected that she was pregnant.

Emmy made the reveal on her Instagram account, and it included some beautiful maternity pictures from when she was pregnant. She captioned the picture with a date, “5.24.21” and said that it was a Monday morning when they welcomed their new baby girl into the world.

She also added in a picture of her new baby’s footprint. It is likely to assume that since she kept the pregnancy a secret, that we may not get many pictures of the new baby girl. A lot of celebrities like to keep their children as private as possible, recognizing that they did not ask for a life in the public eye. This is the first child for Emmy and Sam, who were both married in May of 2017 after 4 years of dating/engagement. Emmy has also shared an Instagram post showing a picture of her 2 weeks before her daughter was born.

Emmy had spoken about motherhood in a previous Facebook post. Emmy was raised by a single mother and she had described it as “difficult” through her childhood. She said that she will sometimes take her mom out for a meal and buy her a present just to show how much she loves and appreciates her. She had expressed that her mother had always felt like she wasn’t good enough, but to her, she was the best mom. It sounds like Emmy has a great role model when it comes to motherhood, and her fans are definitely excited to watch her grow into her own as a mother to a beautiful baby girl.
