Congratulations Drew Seeley! The Another Cinderella Story actor just announced that he and his wife, Amy Paffrath, have welcomed their first baby, and we could not be more excited for them. Their daughter was born on July 20, 2019 (just two days before Amy’s birthday!), and they named the little girl Ember Florence Seeley.

“Welcome to this big beautiful world, Ember Florence Seeley,” the 37-year-old actor shared on Instagram. “Mama and poppa love you more than words can express.”

This weekend – am I right?! 😳 What a whirlwind. My birthday weekend is usually full of excitement but this one definitely takes the cake! We went in for yet another prenatal appointment on Friday at what my doc and were calling 41.5 weeks gestation. My "due date" was moved to July 8th early in pregnancy but I fought it for some reason, trying to maintain control of something that was so obviously not in my power. He originally suggested we induce on Monday, today, my birthday. I didn't wanna do that for many reasons, I'll go into more detail later, but when my fluid looked low Friday Doc decided l should go in that night. That was a curve ball I wasn't expecting but I'm happy to say things went very smoothly and I had a very empowered birth. I can't thank the amazing labor and delivery team at @cedarssinai, the incredible @modernladoula, & my wonderful husband @drewseeley enough for supporting my wishes and helping me bring Miss Ember Florence Seeley into the world on July 20th at 1:49pm as gracefully and gently as possible. It was an unforgettable weekend and I'm tired as a mother. Mama's, I salute you with a brand new respect for enduring th miracle of life. Childbirth is a wild ride. We will share a pic of our sweet baby soon. Keeping her all to ourselves for a little while longer. This birthday is certainly one I'll never forget 💞 #thisis36 #moonbeamseeley #babylove #ihavedaughter #mama #newmom

As J-14 readers know, the former Disney star, who sang Troy Bolton’s songs in the first High School Musical, married the TV host back in April 2013. And we were all super excited when they announced that they were expecting in February 2019.

“I am madly in love with this woman. We’ve traveled far and wide together. And I’m so excited we’re now embarking on our wildest adventure yet,” Drew wrote at the time. “Baby Seeley, whoever you are in there, you are loved unconditionally! And we are gonna have a GREAT time Mister! Or Miss! Either way, you are already my entire heart. See you in July!”

This is seriously the best news ever!
