Pretty Little Liars star Ashley Benson gives birth to her first child

34-year-old Ashley Benson and her fiance, 43-year-old heir to oil tycoon Brandon Davis, became parents for the first time. The actress shared the good news on Instagram*. She posted a photo on her story of her newborn baby's hand wrapped around her thumb.

A source close to her told In Touch about the actress’s pregnancy. "I don't know what month she is in, but it was already noticeable in September. She began to wear loose clothes, avoid being photographed and tries to keep everything secret. Her close circle is aware, but I doubt she will make a public statement before the baby is born. One way or another, she is pregnant and very excited about the new chapter of her life,” the publication quotes the insider as saying.

Rumors about Ashley and Brandon's romance first appeared in January of this year, and a month later the couple stopped hiding their relationship. Three months ago, Benson and Davis announced their engagement. Long before this, Ashley admitted in an interview that she dreams of a big family. "I'm obsessed with kids. I'd have 25 if I could. I recently bought three vintage T-shirts for my future kids. I'll just keep them until they can wear them. I'll be a crazy mom," the actress told People magazine.
