Leighton Meester, Adam Brody Welcome First Child

Leighton Meester and Adam Brody are proud new parents, Us Weekly exclusively confirmed. The "Gossip Girl" actress reportedly gave birth last week - making it the first child for both Meester and Brody, who got married last year.

The baby's name and gender have not been revealed, which is not surprising since the couple has been fiercely private about their personal lives. A representative for the couple has not released a statement regarding their newborn.

Meester and Brody met on the set of their 2011 film "The Oranges" and tied the knot in a secret ceremony in January 2014.

At the time, a source told the Daily Mail that, "Leighton and Adam got married in Northern California by the ocean a couple of weeks ago. It was a very small and intimate wedding with close family and friends. It was beautiful."

In November, Meester spoke to Nylon Magazine about wanting kids someday, saying, "Most people I know are starting to get married. It'll be kids next. I like the grown-up stuff. I like having a house. I've got dogs. I started ['Gossip Girl'] when I was so young. And once it was over, I wanted to do things that were exciting and challenging and more me - more my adult taste."

Meester joins the motherhood club, which includes her former "Gossip Girl" co-star Blake Lively who welcomed daughter James with husband Ryan Reynolds earlier this year.
