Tina Fey wanted to wait to discover the baby's gender

Tina Fey, already the mother of 5-year-old Alice, has introduced a new addition to the family.  30 Rock star welcomed a healthy baby girl, Penelope, Athena, on Wednesday with her husband, the composer of Richmond, Jeffrey, 50, her representative told People.

The multiple Emmy-winner joked with Ellen DeGeneres during her pregnancy that she and her husband wanted to wait to discover the baby's gender. "I'm just going to see what it chooses to wear to prom," Fey said at the time.  The comedian also called her second pregnancy "easy."


He talked about dying to have a second child - but explained that she and her husband decided it was time to expand your family. Said Fey at the time: "My husband and I really decided that we felt rather than risk having 30 Rock end in several years and feeling like part of our family is missing that we were going to prioritize our family."
