Kerry Washington welcomed a baby girl with husband Nnamdi Asomugha

Kerry Washington and husband Nnamdi Asomugha welcomed healthy baby girl Isabelle Amarachi on April 21, sources close to the Scandal actress report.

“Kerry is at home busy with the baby,” a friend told People of the first-time mom.

Baby Isabelle’s birth — much like her parents’ June 2013 union — was kept very hush-hush. Kerry was also very coy about pregnancy reports last fall. Upon finally confirming she was expecting, Kerry said she felt “really, really blessed.”

Before that, she explained why she prefers to keep her personal life so private.

“I’ve had earlier times in my career when I did talk about it,” she said last summer. “But I couldn’t just turn around and say, ‘I only want to talk about the good stuff, but not the bad stuff.’ So I just thought, ‘Okay, no more.'”

Congratulations to Kerry and Nnamdi on the new addition to their family!
