“James Holt Joblon. Everything they say is true. There is no love like it,” the new mom captioned a Friday, March 29, Instagram post.

The Originals star, 30, announced in October 2018 that the couple would be expecting a baby seven months after Holt suffered a miscarriage. “My heart is bursting. I’m so happy to share with you that we are having a baby! It doesn’t feel real. These past few months have been filled with excitement, anxiety, tears, joy, uncertainty but most of all gratitude,” she wrote in a heartfelt Instagram post at the time. “You never forget the deep pain of loss. It dims with time but it informs many of your experiences. Our loss earlier this year was the darkest moment of my life. Yet, it made me infinitely more thankful for the precious baby growing inside me today.”

Thank you all so much for your love and support — I can’t wait to share this journey with you.”
