US Weekly reports that FASHION STAR host Jessica Simpson has given birth to a baby girl, Maxwell Drew Johnson, in Los Angeles this morning.  

This is Simpson's first child with fiance Eric Johnson. According to a source, baby Maxwell takes her middle name from her maternal grandmother, Tina Simpson, whose maiden name is Drew. The baby weighed in at 9 lbs. 13 ounces. "Mother and baby are doing just fine," the source tells Us.

Simpson, 31, and former NFL player Johnson, 32, were engaged in November 2010. The pair had planned to hold off on making official wedding plans until after the baby's arrival. Simpson was previously married to Nick Lachey from 2002 until their separation in 2005. The former couple documented their life together for MTV's hit reality show, Newlyweds.
