Finally! Tia Mowry-Hardrict Just Introduced Her Baby Girl To The World (and We Love Her Name)

Finally! Tia Mowry-Hardrict Just Introduced Her Baby Girl To The World (and We Love Her Name)

Tia Mowry-Hardrict gave birth on May 5 but she’s kept her daughter under wraps…until now!

“Feeling grateful and blessed as we welcome our little baby girl into the world!” Born May 5th at 10:29 am at 6 pounds and 4 Oz 19.8 inches 💕 We are in heaven 🙏🏽

Today on her Facebook Watch series, Tia Mowry’s Quick Fix, the star revealed her second bundle of joy’s adorable little face and her name too. (Which husband Cory Hardrict picked out!)

“This is baby Cairo. Her name is Cairo Tiahna Hardrict. Cairo, it basically means victorious. My husband was in the air, flying. He always feels like he’s closer to his mother when he’s up in the air. He said when he was flying, he saw the letters A, I, R, in the sky. He said he wanted the baby’s name to have those letters. Tiahna is spelled T-I-A-H-N-A so it has Tia in there. Tiahna actually means follower of Christ. Also, Tiahna is one of the first African princesses so she’s our little princess here!”

The actress and The Oath actor announced that they were having baby number two in November 2017 and shared that they’d be welcoming a daughter in January. The couple who wed in April 2008, has a son, Cree Taylor. 

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Mowry-Hardrict had been vocal about her struggle with endometriosis and was in denial about pregnancy the second time around. She even admitted to taking about “20 pregnancy tests” before believing the good news. 

While expecting, the 38-year-old basked in the joys of pregnancy by dancing as her baby bump grew, showed off darling maternity styles and had a bohemian themed baby shower that was full of love. 

They both wanted to take her on a stroll. My heart is beaming. ❤️

Since welcoming her daughter, the star has been honest about life post-partum including breastfeeding and the pressure to snap back after giving birth. 

7 weeks #postpartum. Some #pregnant women after giving birth no longer have a belly after 7 weeks. While others it may take a little longer. Me, I’m the latter. I remember after giving birth to Cree, my belly didn’t all of a sudden go flat. I did have a C-Section, (as well as with my second pregnancy) and I thought something was wrong with me. I had seen in magazines the many women on the beach a few weeks #postpartum in a two piece. To be honest, it had to take time for me to embrace my new body. With this second pregnancy, I now have embraced that fact that I’ve housed a human being. A miracle. A life. If it takes a while for me to get back to my normal self, than so be it. This.Is.Me. And I love me. ❤️ #momlife #motherhood #7weeks

After giving birth, the actress teased fans on Instagram by selectively showing off her baby girl but now that we’ve finally met her and we’re already obsessed with her. 

No #katemiddleton here. 🤪 #teamnosleep #mom
