Joely Fisher Welcomes Daughter Olivia Luna

Andy Fossum/Startraks

The Fisher-Duddy brood has expanded again with the adoption of Olivia Luna, Joely Fisher‘s rep tells PEOPLE exclusively. Olivia was born recently, weighing in at 7 ½ lbs and is 19 ½ inches long. She joins sisters Skylar Grace, 7, and True Harlow, 2 ½, as well as brothers Collin, 20, and Cameron, 22, from husband Christopher Duddy‘s first marriage. Joely’s rep tells PEOPLE,

"They are all blissfully happy and enjoying their new baby sister."

Out of respect for the birth mother, the family will be keeping other details private. Joely, 40, and Christopher, a cinematographer, have been married nearly 12 years. Joely currently stars on ‘Til Death, airing Wednesdays at 9 p.m. on FOX.

I was just finished reading about True and Joely attending the amberwatch youth coalition fun fair, when all of a sudden I clicked to go back to the homepage and find that they welcomed another little girl through adoption! Congratulations to them!! And I like the name Olivia Luna!

Wow, that’s big surprise!
I was just reading about them at the event and I come back a couple hours later to find that they had another little girl.

Love the name Olivia Luna!

J.J., that exact thing happened to me! I was like, “What? Where did I miss the news that she was pregnant?” before I saw that it was through adoption!

Congrats to them! What an awesome surprise!

I too clicked on this story and was surprised, my first thought was, “I didn’t know she was pregnant!?” Then, I completely missed the part about adoption and was really confused when it mentioned respect for the birth mother lol. I had to go back and re-read it!! I’m wondering if they know the birth mother since they said no other details will be released out of respect? There’s not much else to release as they gave her name, birth stats etc. I guess maybe they mean details about how the ended up adopting her?

Anyway congrats to the entire family!! That is really cool

My infant daughter is named Luna so when I saw her name, I got a warm fuzzy. How great to have a house full of little girls.

- jenny on September 29th, 2008

Heather, they aren’t saying her birthdate or where she was born, maybe that’s what they meant.

Congratulations to the family! I love the name also.

- Brandi on September 29th, 2008

i like the name. unexpected news !

- alex on September 29th, 2008

My first thought too was “I didn’t know she was pregnant again” until I finished reading the whole thing. Well, congratulations to all of them. I love the names of all her girls.

- Michelle on September 29th, 2008

i had to really read this one! i was like “i didnt even know she was expecting” so i had to reread it. lol

- Sheila on September 29th, 2008

Are people skimming or skipping the first sentence? It says adoption right there so it’s hard to miss (or was for me)!

- Brandi on September 29th, 2008

Wow! I just looked at her and True at the baby celebration. Congrats!!! I bet it is weird having a baby in the house!!!

- Morgan on September 29th, 2008

Congrats to the family! What a beautiful name!

- brooklyn on September 29th, 2008

I didn’t know she was pregnant? WOW!! Congrats and the name is very sweet.

- Molly on September 29th, 2008

Okay I have answered my own comment then, ha.

Molly, she was not pregnant the baby is adopted.

- Brandi on September 29th, 2008

Ha I did skip the first sentence too…to be honest I usually just read the baby’s name and skip the rest

- Natasha on September 29th, 2008

Oops, I misread this and didn’t see she had adopted. My mistake.

- Molly on September 30th, 2008

Congrats on the new addition and find it inspiring that she just popped next door to adopt a child who needs a home.

- SJ on September 30th, 2008

What a beautiful name! Congrats to them

- Philippa on September 30th, 2008

“Are people skimming or skipping the first sentence? It says adoption right there so it’s hard to miss (or was for me)!”

Brandi – The headline says “Joely Fisher welcomes daughter Olivia Luna” That’s all I had read when I thought “Wow, I didn’t even know she was pregnant” and then I read the story and realized she had adopted. I think it’s probably the headline throwing people off.

- Michelle on September 30th, 2008

My 3 year old’s name is Olivia Luna and was 7 1/2 lbs and 19 1/2 inches at birth. How ironic!

- Amanda on September 30th, 2008

I just want to say that I really appreciate the fact that, even though it seems to have confused a few people, CBB has the headline as “Joely Fisher Welcomes Daughter Olivia Luna,” rather than “Joely Fisher Adopts Daughter Olivia Luna”.

Joely welcomed a child, and that’s all that matteres.

- CelebBabyLover on September 30th, 2008

I can not get over how much Joely’s girls resemble their half cousin Billie (daughter of Carrie Fisher)!

Congrats to the family!

- Lucy on October 2nd, 2008

Wow this was a surprise, congrats to her. I read she was inspired by madonna and angelina adopting, and she was gonna go to africa but instead picked a child from the states. The baby is african american, and she knows the baby’s mom I heard

- brooke on October 3rd, 2008

Amanda, as this is not an outcome that goes completely against what was expected (there is always a chance that something like that will happen) it is not irony. It is called a coincidence.

Curses to Alanis Morissette and her incorrect diction for preventing an entire generation from actually using a dictionary to look up the word.
