Feb. 8 (UPI) — On My Block alum Jessica Marie Garcia is a new mom.
The 34-year-old actress welcomed her first child, daughter Selena Grey, with her husband, Adam Celorier, on Friday.
Garcia shared the news Monday on Instagram alongside photos of her baby girl.
“2.4.22 the love of my life was born. Selena Grey you have no idea how much you are loved. After five trying days of induction you came into this world with a bang and it’s already become a better place with you in it,” she captioned the post.
Garcia included a video of her baby’s doctors and nurses dancing in her hospital room.
“We wanted to thank the incredible nurses and midwives who took care of us while we were in the hospital, some are featured here celebrating just moments after she was born because they had been by our side day after day,” she said. “After every back step they held our hands and kept our spirits high knowing she would be here one way or another. We would not have made it without them.”
