Meredith Grey is a mom!
Grey's Anatomy actress Ellen Pompeo and husband Chris Ivery have welcomed their first child, a girl, her rep tells Usmagazine.com exclusively.
"Her name is Stella Luna Pompeo Ivery," her rep tells Us. "She was born Sept. 15 in Los Angeles."
Pompeo, 39, and the music producer, 41 — who tied the knot at a small ceremony in 2007 — announced they were expecting in April.
See how A-list moms-to-be dress their bumps.
"It's a huge lifestyle change, and I take that very seriously," she told Allure in 2008 of motherhood. "[Chris and I] enjoy our life so much. We go to Europe and sleep in. So when I have the baby, I won't feel like we've missed any fun, reckless times together, like staying up all night drinking champagne and having sex until five in the morning and not having to get up until two in the afternoon."
See the baby bump hall of fame.
Her Grey's costar, Jessica Capshaw, told Us Pompeo was ready to be a mom.
"She is so on top of it, and she is so excited, and she is very sweet about it," she told Us in May. "She is doing her research."
Added Capshaw, "She is exactly the way that she should be about it, which is really excited and hopeful but at the same time really pragmatic and planning. And I think that is the best way for her to be."
The new season of Grey's Anatomy starts Sept. 24. Her costar Katherine Heigl recently adopted a baby girl from Korea.

49Congratulations to all! I just hope the new parents realize that Stellaluna (one word) is the name of a children's book about a fruit bat. A lovely book - one of my favorites! They might want to hold off calling Baby Stella by her full name when she hits preschool. Or not...maybe all the little kids will think she's extra cool because she has the same name as a book...or a baby bat!
can the psycho freak who keeps talking about jon gosselin shut the hell up? ur a weirdo that would probably molest ur own daughters. i hate jon too but honestly that is so rude, not to mention plain weird. keep ur own issues private, asshole.
I have the puppet from the book stella luna haha
JON GOSSELIN IS THE TYPE THAT WILL MOLEST HIS DAUGHTERS......HE IS SHOWING ALL THE SIGNS.........KATE SHOULD GET FULL CUSTODY OF THE CHILDREN..... AND JON SHOULD ONLY GET SUPERVISED VISITATION....... JON GOSSELIN IS A SICK SEX CRAZED FREAK!!
What about their supposed marriage problems???? I like the name of the baby. At least it is somewhat normal in Hollyweird.
Danielle, learn how to spell restaurant!
Congratulations Ellen and Chris. I love the name...my aunt was named Estella and we called her "Stella". Nice choice of names.
I think Stella Luna is the name of a wine!LOL
Stella Luna is a resterant near my school...maybe some day she could buy it and start a chain all aross the country :-) Congrats Ellen and Chris :-)
I don't care for the name but thank goodness it is a REAL name. Congratulations on that. In Hollywood real names are unusual these days!
Too many celebrity babies called Stella already. Too many Stellas, too many Sophias, too many Avas.
Congrats! Its a beautiful name Stella Luna=)
A pretty name, sounds like something out of a fairy tale, indeed.. How refreshingly NICE to see a couple who dated, married, decided to become parents...May they all enjoy a beautiful life :-)
Actually she works 14 hour days and was only referring to when she is on hiatus....
I love Stella!!!
Wow, this news is late. Sept. 15?
Congrats to Ellen! Stella is a beautiful name. Same Luna. I'm italian and I do not know any bat with a similar name.
congrats!
DON'T VACCINATE! DO YOUR RESEARCH. IT IS A GLOBAL SCAM THAT IS BASED ON EUGENICS. WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!! EUGENICS NEVER WENT AWAY. IT IS HERE BIGGER THEN EVER.
Stella Luna was my favourite childhood book.
