Surprise!

Lily Collins quietly welcomed her first child with husband Charlie McDowell via surrogate.

“Welcome to the center of our world Tove Jane McDowell,” she wrote on Instagram Friday alongside a photo of the little one sleeping.

“Words will never express our endless gratitude for our incredible surrogate and everyone who helped us along the way. We love you to the moon and back again
”

The “Emily in Paris” star’s surrogate gave birth earlier this week in Northern California, according to TMZ.

Collins’ celebrity pals were quick to wish her and McDowell congratulations in the comments.

“I’m sobbinggggg 😍😍😍,” Sarah Hyland wrote.

“This is perfect. So so happy for you four ,😍” Amanda Seyfried added, seemingly referencing Collins’ dog Redford.

“Love you all so much ! Congratulations 💕,” Sophia Richie chimed in.

The 35-year-old actress first sparked dating rumors with the director, 41, in July 2019 after meeting on set of his film, “Gilded Rage.”

“It was one of those situations where I knew the second I met him that I wanted to be his wife one day,” Collins later revealed on “Live with Kelly and Mark.” “So, it was just a matter of when, really.”

The pair, who regularly share their romance online, announced their engagement in October 2020.

“I’ve been waiting my lifetime for you and I can’t wait to spend our lifetime together
” Phin Collins’ daughter captioned the series of photos from the romantic proposal.

McDowell — who is the son of actress Mary Steenburgen and actor Malcolm McDowell — popped the question with a unique “rose-cut” diamond — which was stolen in May 2023.

The couple tied the knot in September 2021 in a woodsy wedding in Colorado.

Although the pair rarely discussed their family plans, McDowell teased their hope to expand their brood in October 2024.

“We would like to,” he told E! News when asked about adding a baby to the mix. “We would like to move into that next stage, so we’ll see when it happens!”

However, the actor failed to mention that it was already in the works.
