It's a girl for R&B superstar Ne-Yo and his actress girlfriend Monyetta Shaw!

The "Beautiful Monster" singer welcomed his first child, whom they named Madilyn Grace, Friday night in Atlanta -- nearly six weeks earlier than expected.

"She's healthy and happy. Feels like I'm in luv for the first time," Ne-Yo, 31, tweeted Saturday. "Welcoming that lil' girl to the world last night defined for me what 'willing to kill and die for' truly means. My world, my life, all hers."

The singer was reportedly at a charity event for his Ne-Yo Foundation when he got the call that Shaw went into labor, All Hip Hop News reports. The Grammy nominated singer then rushed to the hospital to be by her side for the birth.

    love the name it flows well together. though I've always had a soft spot for Grace because of oscar winner Grace Kelly being one of my favorite actresses. like I said previously I hope the baby is healthy being born ahead of schedule first-borns usually aren't unless there's complications

    They named her Madilyn Grace. Cute name.

    good luck to them on becoming parents. bet their little girl is beautiful and hopefully everyone is healthy as being born prematurely can lead to many problems down the road
