Nigerian-American actress, Uzo Aduba is now a proud mother.
The “Orange Is The New Black” actress, 42, has welcomed a baby girl with husband Robert Sweeting.
The couple welcomed a daughter named Adaiba Lee Nonyem, the actress revealed on Instagram on Thursday, November 30.
“My daughter. I’ve never been in love so quickly, so deeply in my entire life,” she wrote. “I really don’t know what to say, guys. My heart is full. Thank you, God.”
“I have joy like a fountain. I have witnessed a miraculous thing, and I feel blessed to know you are ours. We love you so much, Adaiba Lee Nonyem – Daughter of the people, treasurer of the mother’s names who came before you.”
The actress added, “I’m a Mommy, you guys. Motherhood. I’ve joined the club. I hear the dues are high, but the membership is completely worth it 🙂 #grateful.”
In June, Aduba revealed she was pregnant while appearing at the 2023 Tony Awards.
“The happy couple is over the moon about their growing family and are excited to be parents,” an insider shared at the time.
Uzo opened up about pregnancy and motherhood in an October interview with The Bare magazine, including what it’s like to also have her sister expecting a child at the same time.
“My sister has been great with checking in on me and seeing how I’m doing, and we send a lot of information back and forth because we’re in the same stage of life, which I appreciate. It’s not just her alone. I have a lot of women in my life who have been there during this season, which I truly appreciate,” Uzo said.
