Rebecca Gayheart and Eric Dane have welcomed their first child, a baby girl, a rep for the couple has announced.

The baby was born Wednesday in Los Angeles, rep Nanci Ryder tells the Associated Press.

"Mother, father and daughter are doing great," she said.

The baby's name was not released.

Gayheart, 38, and the Grey's Anatomy star, 37 -- who wed in Las Vegas in 2004 -- never formally announced the pregnancy, but Gayheart stepped out last September with a baby bump.

"I'm very curious what this next phase of my life is going to be like," Dane told UsMagazine.com at the 8th Annual World Poker Tour Invitational in L.A. "It's exciting. I feel like I've been sort of thumbing through the last page of the same chapter for a long time now and am ready to kind of get on with it."

Asked if they have the nursery ready, he said at the Feb. 20 event, "Oh yeah! And we are packing the bag tonight!"

He previously said on The Ellen DeGeneres Show that he planned on being in the delivery room for the birth.

"I'm going to stay close to my wife and make sure that she is all right," he said.

He said they even settled on a baby name, but "Rebecca wants to wait until she sees her before we give her the name."

Can you guess whose tiny baby bump this is?

Don't expect them to continue the celebrity trend of weird names. Of their baby's name, Dane told DeGeneres, "We went straight down the middle with this one."

    Be nice, before you get your panties in a bunch, when I said REBEKAH, I was talking about the person posting as REBEKAH not rebecca gayheart. You're about as big of a dumbass as REBECCA! And yes, Ive made mistakes, we all do, but mine don't consist of using children as speedbumps.

    Ok, anon, first of all its R-E-B-E-C-C-A, second of all, who the hell are you to say she has or hasn't learned from her mistake and taken a better, safer outlook on her actions? You think hitting some poor child isn't going to change her life forever as well as the lives of the child's family. She knows she made a mistake by being careless, so there's no doubt in my mind that she will think twice about her actions and be more patient in the future. I personally love REBECCA Gayheart, despite her mistakes, because she is a HUMAN BEING, and her husband's not too bad himself. So congrats to the couple I can't wait to hear the baby's name.

    Let me get this straight; Rebecca shouldn't be allowed to have happiness and should give her baby to the parents of the little boy she accidentally hit? That makes absolutely no sense! Rebecca made a mistake and she has to live with that for the rest of her life. THe little boy's parents have to live with the pain of their loss as well but do you hear them going on t.v or blogs and slamming Rebecca for having a child? No. Everyone makes mistakes and celebrities are no different.

    I will be releasing the Sex video' I filmed of Jodi Kreider, Kevin Kreider and Jon Gosselin's three some". Jon Gosselin needs money desperately at this time, so there will be a link to purchase it on Jon Gosselins site real soon...

    anon, Are you perfect? Have you never made a mistake you wish you could take back? Are you god?.... it was an accident. let the past be the past.

    Amber, Seriously, you are a MORON. "Who cares if they do pot, it's just pot". You know you sound like a idiot, right?

  • March 06, 2010 - 11:51am anon

    It wasn't an accident, she wasn't paying attention, decided she was too important to wait behind the cars that were stopped letting the child cross, and decided she was sooo busy and important that she could use the turning lane to go straight and ran the poor child over while she was yapping on her phone. So SHE should be ASHAMED of HERSELF. It's not like the sun was in her eyes, she was deliberately careless, and while she lives everyday in the lap of luxury, that kids mother gets to live everyday in agony. There's nothing more annoying then self riteous people on these boards like rebekah, who think they need to reprimand people for their thoughts. Get over yourself rebekah, we can think for ourselves and dont need you to school us on manners. Yeah, Amber, all the greatest parents smoke dope while their kids are asleep. Maybe they even get high then drive them around. Only great mothers smoke while pregnant too!

    Gorgeous family! Congrats! I love McSteamy and McSteamy's wife and baby too!

  • March 06, 2010 - 8:20am Rebekah

    You people who are spreading ill will to this family should be ASHAMED of yourselves!!! The last thing that should be mentioned on this post is someone's past and traumatic events. Congrats to the new parents. May your new angel bring happiness to you and your lives. Such a blessing.

    Who cares if they do pot, its just pot. And she didn't murder the child, it was called an accident. It can happen to ANY driver on the road, easily. So don't judge her so harshly. If the daughter looks anything like rebecca, wow. If not, that little girl is going to feel like she has a lot to make up for in the personality department. Lastly...Eric dane seriously needs a moustache, do not like him without one.

    Let the car accident be in the past. That in itself is enough to make anyone nuts. I hope she enjoys her little baby and can move on i love her hubby on Greys Anatomy!!!

  • March 05, 2010 - 8:36pm Skye

    Wow, had no idea she killed a child! Crazy.. but for the child's sake, i hope they are good parents!

  • March 05, 2010 - 8:31pm Jen

    congrats, but someone else should teach the girl about crossing the street, and they should burn any existance of that s3x tape.

  • March 05, 2010 - 3:50pm Anonymous
