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.
