Actress Ana Ortiz is now a mom. She recently gave birth to her fist child, a baby girl named Paloma Louise Lebenzon. The newborn weighed a healthy seven pounds, 10 ounces at birth. Ortiz is married to musician Noah Lebenzon. The couple got married in 2007 in Puerto Rico.

A spokesperson for the actress told People.com: “She is elated and completely glowing. She is surrounded by her friends and family and so happy to be a mom. She is just really enjoying the moment. The baby is absolutely beautiful.”

Ortiz, a Manhattan native, is probably best known to fans for her role in the hit show, Ugly Betty. She plays Hilda Suarez, the older sister of America Ferrera’s title character. Interestingly, she had originally tried out for the role of Betty Suarez in Ugly Betty. She was quoted as saying of the experience, “I was super plain. I just put on some glasses and kept my hair kind of flat and layered on the clothing. I just wanted them to remember me, so that I could be involved in the future.” Well it seems like that part of her plan worked.

The 38-year old actress has gotten high praise for her parenting skills from the actor who plays her son in the hit series. He was quoted as saying, “She will be an amazing mom. Ana has the biggest heart and she’s so loving. She’s also laid back and chilled but at the same time she’s forceful and knows how to discipline someone if she has to be. It’s the perfect combination in being a great mom. She’s done it with me a bunch of times when I got out of line. She’s definitely my second mom.”

Congratulations to Ana Ortiz and her husband Noah Lebenzon on the birth of their first child.

Fans of the hit TV show Ugly Betty may be familiar with actor Christopher Gorham. He played the character Henry Grubstick from 2006 to 2008. Reports online reveal that the actor and his wife, actress Anel Lopez-Gorham have recently welcomed their third child.

The couple already has two sons, Lucas and Ethan. This time around they were blessed with a daughter they named Alondra Cecilia Lopez Gorham. Gorham’s statement regarding his daughter’s birth was short and simple. He was quoted on People.com as saying, “She’s perfect.” It sounds like little Alondra is already the apple of daddy’s eye.

Gorham and his wife were college sweethearts. He proposed to her outside Tiffany’s on Rodeo Drive. He reportedly had made a picnic breakfast so they could have their own Breakfast at Tiffany’s before going inside to get their rings. How’s that for romantic? They worked together on the TV series Popular which ran from 1999 to 2001.

He is no longer a part of the cast of Ugly Betty, but a few of his former cast mates have also had recent additions to their families. Rebecca Romijn and her husband Jerry O’Connell recently had twin girls Dolly Rebecca Rose and Charlie Tamara Tulip. Eric Mabius had a son, Rylan Jaxson Mabius, who was born in December. It has also been reported that Ana Ortiz is expecting her first child this summer.

Gorham got interested in acting pretty early. In the fourth grade he played the Mad Hatter in Alice Through the Looking Glass. In fact his work was so good he won the Best Actor award, which was usually given to sixth graders. He got his official start in the business as an intern on Baywatch.

Congratulations to the young couple on their new arrival. Fans of Ugly Betty may want to keep an ear to the ground for more celebrity baby news.
