The ultimate real-life relationship from the two best shows of the 2000s just got even better, after Leighton gave birth to a baby girl.

The notoriously private couple – who refused to confirm they were expecting even when Leighton began appearing in public with a late-stage pregnancy bump – welcomed their daughter on August 4, and managed to keep her a secret for more than a month!

However, the news finally leaked overnight to American celeb mag Us Weekly. While neither 29-year-old Leighton nor Adam, 35, have confirmed the news, website TMZ claimed this morning that they had seen her birth certificate, reporting that the couple named her Arlo Day.

Leighton and Adam met on set of The Oranges in 2011, and have mostly kept their relationship private, including their secret wedding in February last year.

But one thing they have commented on publicly is that they want children, and lots of them.

“I say 12 [kids], and I decide,” Adam recently joked.

We’re sure Kirsten and Sandy Cohen will make excellent grandparents…
