America Ferrera had plenty to celebrate this Mother’s Day.

On Sunday, the 36-year-old actress announced the arrival of her second child with husband Ryan Piers Williams, daughter Lucia Marisol.

“LUCIA MARISOL WILLIAMS 🌟arrived on May 4th to give me my Mother’s Day hugs and kisses herself,” Ferrera wrote on Instagram. “Mama, Dada & Big Brother are over the moon to welcome her bright light to our family.”

Ferrera also posted of herself holding Lucia’s hand with Williams. The proud dad, 38, shared the same image to his Instagram, calling his newborn daughter “the most exquisite little creature.”

In January, Ferrera revealed she was pregnant and expecting her second child with Williams. The couple welcomed son Sebastian in 2018.

Ferrera added that while the coronavirus pandemic halted her baby shower, she still wanted to give back.

“Quarantine may have canceled her Baby Shower but it didn’t stop us from collecting and delivering essential supplies to #YesWeCanMobileSchools – spaces for moms and children at the border to learn, play, and stay safe through these hard times,” she posted. “If you’re considering sending Lucia a gift, please donate to @yeswecanwf in her name. Or make a donation today in honor of the Moms you love!”

Ferrera and Williams have been married since 2011.
