Having a new addition to the family is always an occasion worth celebrating. Congratulations to the following celebrities who welcomed bundles of joy into their lives the past month (late April –  May 2017).

Zooey Deschanel and Jacob Pechenik

The New Girl actress and her husband Jacob Pechnik welcomed their second child, a baby boy called Charlie, on 9 May. Like always, Zooey chooses to keep her life private and did not make any announcement on her social feeds. Both parents are said to be overjoyed with the newest addition to the family. Like his older sister, Elise Otter, Charlie’s middle name, wolf, is inspired by an animal.
