It’s a girl for Laila Ali and her husband, boxer Curtis Conway. “After a long day of labor, I had a healthy baby girl, Sydney J. Conway,” Ali told Us Magazine after giving birth this morning. “We are both very tired, but we fell in love the moment we laid eyes on each other. I feel so blessed and overwhelmed with love and excitement. Can’t wait to get to know her…”

Sydney is the couple’s second child. Their first, Curtis “C.J.” Muhammad Jr, is two years old. Ali, a former “Dancing with the Stars” contestant and Us Magazine blogger, says she started buying clothes for baby Sydney as soon as she found she was expecting.

Congrats to the Ali-Conway family on their bundle of joy.
