The Ugly Betty star and her actor husband welcome their first child, son Francis Jonathan Beesley.

Ugly Betty star Ashley Jensen and her actor husband Terence Beesley, have welcomed their first child together.

Their son has been named Francis Jonathan Beesely, but a spokesperson for the family says he's already going by the nickname ‘Frankie Jack.'

The private pair managed to keep the birth quiet for a couple of weeks - with Ashley actually having given birth on 20th October - but their rep has now confirmed that both mum and baby are at home and doing well.

The couple had made the decision not to find out the sex of their baby before the birth.

‘We thought there are so few surprises left in the world,' Ashley told People magazine. ‘We wanted to be surprised, so we don't have the room painted pink or blue.'

Ashley, who celebrated her 40th birthday this year, plans to return to work soon, to continue filming her latest US project - sitcom Accidentally on Purpose.

Congratulations to the happy couple on the new addition to their family!
