Watch: Ashley Benson Gives Birth to First Baby With Brandon Davis

Ashley Benson has some pretty little big news: She's officially a mom.

The Pretty Little Liars star has welcomed her first baby with husband Brandon Davis. Ashley confirmed the news by posting a picture of the newborn's hand to Instagram Stories Feb. 29 along with a pink heart emoji.

While the 34-year-old has largely kept her pregnancy journey out of the spotlight, back in January she reflected on her new chapter. As Ashley told LADYGUNN, she knows "being a parent is gonna f--ing change everything."

However, she couldn't wait to meet her little one, adding, "I'm ready for her to come out now."

Welcoming their baby hasn't been the only big step Ashley and Brandon have taken recently. In November, multiple outlets reported the actress and the art dealer tied the knot. And Ashley noted their connection was apparent right from the get-go.

"It was immediate," she told LADYGUNN. "I was just like, I think I'm gonna marry you."

And as Ashley and Brandon enter parenthood, her former costars are cheering from the sidelines.

Meanwhile, Pretty Little Liars' Shay Mitchell—who shares kids Atlas and Rome with partner Matte Babel—couldn't help but recall seeing her pal's sweet interactions with children while working on their show, telling E! News in February Ashley has "always been so incredible with kids."

"She's always loved kids, always knew she would make a great mom when the time came," Shay continued. "So I'm really excited for her in this journey. And it's gonna be really fun."
