Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck have officially welcomed their second daughter – and one of the first celebrity babies of 2009!
The actress’s rep tells People magazine as of last night: “Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck gave birth to a healthy baby girl.”
The baby was born Tuesday in Los Angeles. No other details were immediately available. Garner and Affleck, 36, are also parents to daughter Violet, 3.
According to reports, a smiling Garner was spotted being wheeled on a roll-away hospital bed as she was taken to her room. A blanket was draped over her, and it appeared that she was holding the baby. Shortly after, the hospital staff brought in a portable bassinet and heart monitor to check on the baby.
In the weeks leading up to the birth, Jennifer Garner stayed close to home, picking up Violet from preschool and even treating herself to a mani-pedi.
Just days before giving birth, Jen was spotted with Violet at the Farmer’s Market in Pacific Palisades and grabbing a decaf coffee at Caffe Luxxe in Santa Monica with a girlfriend. Ben was probably there for moral support.
Garner confirmed her second pregnancy in August.
