Maggie Grace has given birth to her first child

She shared a photo of herself kissing her baby's head and wrote on Instagram: "The BEST mornings! The shift to parenthood has been the most profound and beautiful experience of my life.(sic)"

The 'Walking Dead' star went on to use the rest of her post to urge followers to vote for Joe Biden in the presidential election because she and her spouse hope to raise their son in a "better" world.

She continued: "2020 is a wild time to have a baby. We long to offer him a better, more compassionate world, and we want to equip him to make it better. Let’s elect leaders our kids can look up to. Please vote. #whatimvotingfor #whyivote #yourvotematters #votebymaskormail @joebiden @kamalaharris (sic)"

Maggie announced her pregnancy in March and admitted the happy news had come as a "joyful reminder" of what's important amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Alongside a picture of her growing baby bump, Maggie wrote on the photo-sharing platform: "In the midst of these uncertain times, we've been blessed with a joyful reminder of what's most important. Our first little one will be joining us this summer. Sending love to you and your families, may you stay safe and healthy.

Maggie and her husband have been married since 2017, when they tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in La Jolla, California.

And the actress - who starred as Kim Mills in the 'Taken' trilogy, and Irina in 'The Twilight Saga' - previously explained why she prefers to date outside of Hollywood circles.

Maggie - whose husband is the CEO of an entertainment company - said: "I haven't dated too many actors.

"I did when I was really young, for a couple of years ... but it's nothing against actors ... you can certainly reconcile schedules with actors but it takes some doing, and I just don't have that energy.”
