HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Actor Matthew Settle and his wife, actress Naama Nativ, have officially started their family.

The 25-year-old Nativ gave birth to a baby girl Thursday afternoon, a rep for Settle confirmed to People.

While the 39-year-old Settle stars as a father on the hit CW series "Gossip Girl," the baby was the first for the couple, who married in 2006.

The pair named their daughter Aven Angelica. She weighed in at 8 lbs., 11 oz., the magazine says.

"Baby and mother are happy and healthy and the new parents are thrilled," Settle's rep told the mag.
