New to the parenthood scene: Harpist Joanna Newsom and her husband Andy Samberg recently welcomed their first child.

A rep for Samberg confirmed to Mashable that he and Newsom are now the parents of a baby girl, though the child's birth date and name are still unknown.

News that the couple was expecting was kept secret from the public during the duration of the pregnancy.

As Us Weekly noted, Samberg expressed interest in parenthood in early 2016, telling reporters at a Fox party that "I would love a baby someday," and that, at the time, he and Newsom didn't feel pressure from child-bearing friends to get pregnant. "I don’t think a baby is something that you should do because other people are doing it," he said.

Samberg is the star of Fox's Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and Newsom is an accomplished musician-- her last album Divers came out in 2015.

This is the couple's first child. They've been married since 2013.

Our only other question: Where should we send this child-sized harp?
