Can you think of a better way to celebrate the Valentine's Day holiday than this? Tony-winner Laura Benanti's publicist confirmed to BroadwayWorld that the star of stage and screen and her husband, Patrick Brown, welcomed their first child, Ella Rose Benanti-Brown, at 3:33 p.m. EST on Valentines Day.

Congratulations on the happy family on their heart-warming addition.

Benanti's long-time friend, and Broadway Records' graphic designer Robbie Rozelle was amongst the first to congratulate the couple.

The actress' Emmy-winning publicist, Danny Deraney also wished the recently expanded family the best.
