Golden Brooks and D.B. Woodside are new parents after welcoming a daughter, their rep tells PEOPLE exclusively. Dakota Tao Brooks-Woodside was born on Tuesday, September 1st, weighing in at 9 lbs., 2 oz and measuring 23 inches long.

“Everyone is insanely in love with her. We’re so happy,” Golden shares. “My mom and dad have moved in to be around her that much more! We’re already calling her our little jumping bean because she’s so active!”

The former Girlfriends star, 38, wrapped the indie film Polish Bar earlier this year, while D.B., 40 — best known for his role as President Wayne Palmer on 24 — is currently appearing on HawthoRNe.

The couple, who announced the pregnancy in June, began dating in 2008.
