Colin Hanks Welcomes Daughter Olivia Jane

Brian Zak/Sipa

Baby makes three for Colin Hanks and wife Samantha Bryant.

The couple welcomed daughter Olivia Jane Hanks on Tuesday, Feb. 1 in Los Angeles, PEOPLE has confirmed.

This is the couple’s first child and is also the first grandchild for Colin’s father, actor Tom Hanks.

“The family is home and everyone’s happy and healthy,” says a source close to the actor.

Hanks, 33, and Bryant met through mutual friends and were engaged in June 2009 before marrying less than a year later in May 2010.

Congratulations to Colin! I loved him on The Good Guys.

And whoa, Tom Hanks is a grandfather! That’s a little surreal.

Olivia Jane is a GORGEOUS name! Jane is one of my favorites for a middle name. Congrats!

- Mallory on

Didn’t know they were expecting! Love the name Olivia, just wish it wasn’t so popular.

Now I’m just waiting to hear what Brendan Fehr and Gretchen Mol name their new babies:-)

Wow he looks JUST like Tom! I don’t know much about them, but I love their daughter’s name! Congrats!

- Taylor on

I didn’t know he was married or expecting a kid. Good for them for keeping things quiet. And for a normal name.

- Tess on

I too didn’t know he was married or that they were expecting, but I’ve liked him since his “Roswell” days.

Congrats to them – love the name! And congrats to Tom Hanks on becoming a grandpa. :)

- Ella on

I have to chuckle, because yesterday there were three birth announcements here, and today there are three as well…..with yesterday’s being all boys and today’s being all girls!

Anyway, congrats to Colin and his wife!

- CelebBabyLover on

I wonder if Olivia’s middle name is in tribute to Colin’s mom, Samantha Lewes, whose middle name is also Jane.

- mks on

I didn’t know they were expecting. I still remember watching Colin Hanks on Roswell…that made me feel old now. Congrats to the new parents (and grandparents)!

- Julia A on

Congrats to the new parents. I bet Tom’s over the moon, along with his mother (Samantha Lewes) to be grandparents.

I have a cousin named Olivia Jane, but then again, Jane is her mother’s name.

- robinepowell on

@robinepowell. Colin’s mom passed away in 2002. :(

- Sarah on

GREAT NEWS! I LOVED THAT SHOW THE GOOD GUYS. I DIDNT KNOW IT WAS CANCELED. SO SAD :(

- APRIL on

He hardly looks like his father at all. If I didn’t read that his dad is Tom Hanks, I would never be able to guess it!

- disbelief on

Olivia Hanks :)

- Olivia Hanks on

Congratulations! I couldn’t resist doing the math… sounds like Olivia could be a wedding night baby! Way to seal the deal you guys :)

- HT on

Shotgun wedding because she was knocked up. Celebs have no concept of birth control!

- Crystal on

Crystal, you consider an 11 month engagement after years of dating a shotgut wedding???
