Los Angeles - Zooey Deschanel has welcomed her first child.

The New Girl star and her fiancé Jacob Pechenik have reportedly become proud parents to a baby girl, sources tell the New York Post's Page Six column.

Further details about the new arrival have yet to be released.

Meanwhile, the 35-year-old beauty previously admitted she was incredibly "excited" about the addition to their family.

She said: "I'm really excited. I'm so excited. I'm just so excited to meet my baby! We're very excited."

However, one thing that didn't impress the star during her pregnancy was the ban on coffee and wine.

She said: "You can't eat so many things when you're pregnant! If I was vegan, I'd just be like ... ohhh.

"You can't have sushi. You can't have cheese that tastes good. You can have a little bit [of coffee], but I would have, like, four cups a day. And now I can have a half cup, which is a joke! It's a total joke!

"You can't have alcohol. I miss that, I like wine."

Despite the bans, she admitted her and Jacob were still planning on having fun with the pregnancy.

She shared: "We are gonna be surprised. It's more fun. Make it into a game!"
