Mi Li told PEOPLE, “welcome to the world Mili! She’s finally here after being fashionably late to her own due date! William and I are incredibly grateful to have gone through this journey of pregnancy, with the love and support from all of our friends and family, and Dr. Meschter and her staff at Cedars Sinai.” According to PEOPLE, the newborn weighed in at 7lbs., 5 oz.
The baby girl’s arrival comes after Mi Li announced her pregnancy in November. At the time, the star shared a photo of herself holding up a positive pregnancy test and also a video where she revealed the exciting news to her mother, who could be heard saying, “Oh, pregnant,” before asking, “Are you serious?!” Mi Li added in the caption, “Well, the mystery to why I’ve been craving sweets and not just spicy food is finally solved! We’re so beyond grateful and excited to be starting this new chapter in our lives.” She announced in December she was expecting a baby girl.
