Ah we love it!

On October 21st, we reported that the lovely Shay Mitchell had welcomed her first child with longterm BF, Matte Babel.

YAY!

The former Pretty Little Liars actress shared the news on Instagram, with a precious post.

Shay shared a snap of her new baby’s hand in hers, and simply captioned it:

“Never letting go…”

The new mum has since been enjoying quality time with her newborn daughter, keeping things reasonably private.

However, Shay just revealed her daughter’s name, and it is stunning.

She took to Instagram to share the name, in an emotional post to her new child.

Prepare to well up.

The former Pretty Little Liars star wrote:

“Atlas Noa, In my 32 years of life I thought I had seen a lot of places, experienced a lot of things, met a lot of people and felt love…then came you.”

Atlas Noa, In my 32 years of life I thought I had seen a lot of places, experienced a lot of things, met a lot of people and felt love…then came you. Truth is I had no idea I was capable of loving anything like this before you arrived. You wonder if that’s just something people say, but it’s as if the chemical makeup of my entire body and soul changed the minute we met. I wake up each day (and also every 2-3 hours ;) still in awe that you are mine, and I am yours. I’m still learning about you and I’ll never grow old of watching you slowly wake up, catch a glimpse of me or your dad and focus intently, almost as if to say “I know you.” Just know, sweet girl – Whatever you choose to do in this world, whoever you choose to love, wherever you choose to go, I will always be your biggest fan. I am already so proud to be your Mama. PS. The days of dressing you up as burritos and other snacks has only just begun. ❤️

Okay, we’re emotional.

But how FAB is that name? We just love it. So unique, so special.

Congrats again to Shay and Matte. She’s just perfect.
