Actress Golden Brooks (“Girlfriends”) and actor D.B. Woodside (“24”) are the proud parents of a brand-new little girl, according to People.com. The couple welcomed Dakota Tao Brooks-Woodside on September 1, weighing in at 9 lbs., 2 oz., and measuring 23 inches long.

Brooks’s parents have moved in with the couple to help out and share in the diaper duty. The actress’s last project (an indie film) wrapped earlier this year while Woodside is currently appearing on Jada Pinkett Smith’s show “HawthoRNe.”–WLW
