Michelle Monaghan Welcomes Daughter Willow Katherine

Actress Michelle Monaghan and her husband Peter White have welcomed their first child, a baby girl. Daughter Willow Katherine White arrived on Wednesday, November 5th in Los Angeles, Calif. A statement released by Michelle’s rep says that “the proud parents are overcome with joy.”

Michelle, 32, had announced her pregnancy in June and shared that they would be awaiting a delivery surprise. In September, during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Ellen performed a series of fun tests on Michelle to determine the sex of the baby. The results were wrong as the host told the expectant mom she would be having a boy! Later that month, Michelle — who was looking forward to motherhood — joked that she had been “suffering from scurvy for the last 15 years” as she was only craving fruit.

Congratulations Michelle and Peter.
Willow Katherine is such a beautiful name, I’m sure she will more than live up to it.
I love her in Eagle Eye, I have seen it 3 times. Such a great film.

I guess Ellen was wrong then, didn’t she predict a boy ?

Lovely Name. Congrats to the whole family.

Wow, it seems like she’s only been pregnant for five minutes! Cute name, personally, I might have gone with Katherine Willow White as I’m not a massive fan of the alliteration of first name and last name, but I do think this is a cute combo. Congrats!

I love the name. Congrats on the new baby girl!

If I have a girl that is on my list:)

Awesome name – my 2 year old daughter’s name! Congrats, I bet she is a cutie!

- Holly on November 7th, 2008

I LOVE the name Willow and I bet she is beautiful. Michelle is so pretty that it’s a guarantee Willow will be a cutie. I think Willow sounds so peaceful. Like Meadow (Paul Walkers daughters name). Very cute! I might have to write that on a list for myself too =)

I really like the trendy/traditional combination. Congrats to Michelle and Peter! I wasn’t expecting the baby for a little longer.

- Lauren on November 7th, 2008

She was so TINY….I thought she would have a few more months at least…

- Brooke on November 7th, 2008

I LOVE the name and by a strange coincidence, I decided 2 weeks ago, that when I have a daughter this will be her name, but I had chosen Willow Catherine. I love it!! GL!!

- Stéph on November 7th, 2008

Aw, congrats to her! I’m just getting to know Michelle through Made of Honor and Eagle Eye and she was excellent in both movies so I hope we see more of her!

I love the name. Very cute! (And I may be the only person on the face of this planet who loves names with the same starting letter in both first and last names!)

- Stephany on November 7th, 2008

Congratulations to them! What a beautiful name, especially for someone born in the winter months! I’ve always thought of Willow as wintery!

- brooklyn on November 7th, 2008

Love the name. Wonder if she’s a big CSI fan like me. Marg Helgenberger’s character’s name is Catherine Willows

- Kelli on November 7th, 2008

Michelle and Peter,
Just heard yesterday that your daughter Willow was born! We are so excited for the two of you! Love the name. It seems like just yesterday that you were in my Kindergarten class. Hope that a picture of your new family appears in one of the movie magazines , so that all of your Winthrop fans can see Willow.
Love,
Rita

Congrats Michelle and Peter
Willow Katherine is such a beautiful name. I love her (Michelle) in the movie Made Of Honor.

- Merna on November 8th, 2008

congratulations on having Willow!

- babyboopie on November 8th, 2008

I wonder if she is named after (however mildly)the CSI character Katherine Willows. That would be interesting!

- tammie on November 10th, 2008

Hi Michelle! I just read this article but I am a huge fan of yours so just wanted to say congrats!! I love the name Willow Katherine, so cute! Thanks for being such a great actress and person in general.

- Chloe on December 14th, 2008

Congratulations, Michelle and Peter!! I saw all of Michelle’s movies and she was incredible! I will not be surprised if she appears in more movies after this.

It is funny that two of my favorite actresses are married to guys named Peter. Melina Kanakaredes is married to Peter Constantinides and Michelle Monaghan is married to Peter White. I hope it is also a good sign for me…that my next prince charming’s name will be Peter! Lol!

Hi michelle!

My mom and I just wanted to say congrats on your new baby girl! My mom use to babysit you and your brothers but she says that you would have been too young to remember. She still goes back and says hi to your mom every time she’s in town though. My mom says you have grown in to a gorgeous woman and you have a beautiful family, we’re both so happy for you. We wish you, Peter, and Willow all the best!
