Lily Collins and Charlie McDowell have become parents

Alongside a photograph of her baby girl, Lily wrote on Instagram: "Welcome to the center of our world Tove Jane McDowell. Words will never express our endless gratitude for our incredible surrogate and everyone who helped us along the way. We love you to the moon and back again... (sic)"

Lily and Charlie tied the knot at Dunton Hot Springs, Colorado, in 2021, and the actress subsequently announced the news via social media.

The 'Emily in Paris' star - who is the daughter of musician Phil Collins and his second wife, Jill Tavelman - wrote on Instagram at the time: "I've never wanted to be someone's someone more than I do yours, and now I get to be your wife. On September 4th, 2021 we officially became each other's forever. I love you beyond @charliemcdowell... (sic)"

The screenwriter also shared the news on his own Instagram account.

Charlie said: "I married the most generous, thoughtful, and beautiful person I've ever known. I love you @lilyjcollins. (sic)"

Prior to that, Lily revealed that she was keen to have children one day.

The actress - who battled an eating disorder during her teenage years - actually decided to discuss her health troubles publicly because she had a long-term ambition of starting a family.

Speaking to Us Weekly back in 2017, Lily explained: "Everyone has a different form of recovery. I never had an 'aha' moment.

"My reason to finally start talking about [my eating disorder] was the moment I realised I wanted a family. I wanted kids. I didn't want this to be something I bring into that."
