'Scandal' Star Kerry Washington Gives Birth to Baby Girl - Find Out the Name!

'Scandal' Star Kerry Washington Gives Birth to Baby Girl - Find Out the Name! A big congrats to Kerry Washington!

The "Scandal" star reportedly gave birth to her baby girl today, her first child with husband and pro football player Nnamdi Asomugha. Here's the catch, though: Even though the news is breaking just now, Washington delivered the baby all the way back on April 21 and kept it under wraps until now.

That level of secrecy has been the standard for Washington and Asomugha, whose engagement wasn't confirmed for a long while, and who had a quiet wedding ceremony without any attention from the press.

In fact, when Washington was asked by E! if she had any pregnancy cravings while she was doing interviews during the awards circuit, she dodged the question. "You know, it's sort of like the rest of my private life: I'm not talking about it that much, but I feel really, really blessed," she said. "It just feels like a really good time."

We know pizza must have been on the list, though: When Ellen DeGeneres asked who wanted pizza during her Oscars stunt, Washington's hand shot up almost immediately.

So, what's the new baby's name? TMZ is reporting that Kerry and Nnamdi have named herĀ Isabelle Amarachi Asomugha. "Amarachi" is a name of Nigerian origin, specifically the Igbo tribe, translating to "Grace of God."

Congrats to the couple and their new addition to the family!
