It’s a girl! Guiding Light actress Jessica Leccia and her husband Brian Malloy are first-time parents after welcoming a daughter on Wednesday, June 10th, a rep for CBS confirms to CBB. Ivy Lola Malloy entered the world at 9:10 a.m., weighing in at 8 lbs., 6 oz. Jessica’s due date had been June 16th.

The soap opera star had announced her pregnancy in December. In February, the expectant mama admitted she had returned to an old habit: ice cream! “I hadn’t eaten it in awhile, but I’m back on it, like a drug,” she said. “It’s bad, but it’s so good.”

Jessica, 33, has portrayed the character of Natalia Rivera since joining Guiding Light in 2007. She and Brian, 37, were married last May in Puerto Rico.

Laura, ITA. All subjective of course and know some people like Bandit’s name as saw the post on her birth, but personally don’t. Think it’s a pretty name, even if it doesn’t flow that smoothly, both names IMO, but like the names individually.

Congratulations to Jessica & Brian and your new baby girl.
I love the choice of Ivy for the baby. Both my husband and my grandmothers were named Ivy so it is a personal favourite name of mine.
I wish you every happiness in the world as a family.
