Hilary Duff has announced the arrival of her fourth child, a daughter named Townes Meadow Bair.
The Disney Channel alum, 36, and her husband Matthew Koma welcomed Townes on May 3. Townes is her third child together and Hilary’s fourth overall.
Duff announced Townes’ arrival on Instagram, sharing snaps of her emotional water birth along with gorgeous photos of her bundle of joy.
‘Townes Meadow Bair (teddy bear emoji), now we know why he made us wait so long… He was perfecting those cheeks!’ Duff captioned the Instagram post.
‘I’ve been dreaming of holding you in my arms for months and the last 5 days of meeting you, looking at you and smelling you have been moments of pure magic. We all love you like you’ve been here forever, the beauty.’

Matthew shared the same snaps on his Instagram account when announcing Townes’ arrival, writing in the caption: ‘My wife, literally warrior goddess, gave birth to our beautiful Townes Meadow Bair at home on 3/5/24.
He jokingly added: “She’s happy, healthy, chunky and doesn’t look like anyone else in our genetic pool, so if anyone knows of @hilaryduff’s whereabouts about 9 months to date, please apply for a cash reward.”
Duff and her husband of five years already share two children: daughters Banks Violet, five, and Mae James, three.
Veterinarian Lizzie McGuire also has a son, Luca Cruz, 12, from her previous marriage to Mike Comrie.
The emotional photos Hilary posted captured the actress meeting the new addition to her family after giving birth in a puddle of water.
Duff tenderly kissed her baby on the forehead and also shared a kiss with her husband while holding the child in her arms.
Koma held her newborn daughter as she lay wrapped in a soft towel.

‘I was perfecting those cheeks!’ Duff gushed in the caption.
Showing off her baby bump in her pajamas, the star playfully shouted at the card with the caption: “So much for Silent Nights.”
She also wrote in the post: ‘Surprise, surprise!’ and ‘Buckle up, Buttercups, we’re adding one more to this crazy bunch’ along with photos of her kids.
Koma also shared the snap with the location hilariously labeled “vasectomy clinic.”
In March, Koma ended up undergoing a vasectomy.
Duff married Koma, 36, in 2019 after first striking up a romance in 2016.
She was previously married to Mike Comrie, 43, from 2010 to 2016.

Hilary announced her pregnancy with Townes in December with a fun Christmas card featuring her family.
Last June, Hilary spoke with Shape about raising three children.
“I had to get really good at it to feel disappointed in myself,” she told the publication.
She added: “I think when you have a baby, you’re programmed to think that you have all the answers and all the capabilities, and that we’re still just human beings.”
The proud mother also noted that motherhood is “infinitely rewarding” and shared, “I love watching my children grow into their unique, individual selves.”
‘I love (raising children) with my husband. I love feeling that hugs and cuddles can make everything better. I love the pressure of saying, “How the fuck are we going to get through this day?”
“And spending the day thinking, ‘I don’t know how everyone is wrapped up and fed and happy after all the things we’ve had to do today.'”
