Samira Wiley And Lauren Morelli Welcome A Baby Girl, George Elizabeth

Samira Wiley celebrated Mother’s Day by announcing that she and her wife, Lauren Morelli, had become first-time moms. The Emmy-winning “Handmaid’s Tale” actor introduced fans to her daughter, George Elizabeth, on Instagram early Monday. In the caption accompanying the adorable photo, she noted that Morelli ― whose pregnancy had been kept under wraps from the media ― had been in labor for three days before delivering the baby April 11. “Welcome to the world, babygirl,” she wrote in the post. “We love you and we thank you for giving us the best 1st Mother’s Day two ladies could ask for.” Wiley and Morelli, a screenwriter whose credits include “Orange Is the New Black” and “Tales of the City,” married in 2017. The pair met five years earlier on the set of “OITNB,” in which Wiley starred as Poussey Washington. That same year, she filed for divorce from her then-husband, Steve Basilone.
In spite of the surprise announcement, Wiley had previously hinted in interviews that the couple was eager to start a family. “Yeah, we think about that,” she told Entertainment Tonight in 2018. “We are so happy and so in love.” |
