Hilary Duff welcomes third child in heartwarming Instagram debut
(CNN) — Hilary Duff has welcomed her third child, a girl named Mae James Bair.
The former Disney Channel star shared a photo of her newborn daughter on Instagram, where she wrote, “we LOVE you beauty 3-24-21.”
Since then, Duff has showed off pictures of her new baby on Instagram Stories, nicknaming her mae-mae.
Duff announced her pregnancy in October, when she shared an Instagram video featuring her husband, singer Matthew Koma, rubbing her growing belly.
“We are growing!!! Mostly me,” she wrote.
Duff and Koma had their first daughter, Banks Violet Bair, in 2018 and married in May 2019.
Duff’s oldest child, son Luca Cruz Comrie, is from her marriage to former Canadian hockey player, Mike Comrie.
Duff frequently showcases her family on social media and just recently published a book, “My Little Brave Girl,” which she says was inspired by her experiences as a mother.
“I hope this book inspires girls to lead with their heart and know how special their mind is, and helps parents not feel so alone when dealing with the bittersweet taste of letting your child grow,” she wrote.
The actress has been open about her struggles with motherhood in the past. In 2019, she shared a photo of herself breastfeeding her daughter and explained how difficult it was to balance nursing her with a career.
Her post was flooded with encouraging comments from other mothers who face similar challenges.
Duff concluded her post by writing, “Moms get high on feeling like superwoman…because we are!”
