Jennifer Love Hewitt has given birth to a baby girl and secretly tied the knot.

The Client List actress welcomed daughter Autumn James Hallisay into the world on Tuesday, Nov. 26 and when revealing the happy news, referred to fiancé Brian Hallisay as her 'husband'.

"Jennifer Love Hewitt and her husband Brian Hallisay are thrilled to announce the birth of their daughter," the representative of Hewitt said to Us Weekly. "Autumn James Hallisay was born on November 26." A source adds that the couple "got married recently in private."

Close friends told the magazine that the couple "got married recently in private."

34-year-old Hewitt and 35-year-old Hallisay announced the pregnancy in June, more than a year after they started dating.

The actress also revealed that she was trying to remain stress free during the duration of her pregnancy telling Us Weekly: 'I think most people, when they're getting ready to be a mom, they go, "Oh my gosh, I have to have all of the answers right now."

'But every kid is different, every parent is different and every child and parent relationship is different, so you just sort of have to wait until you're in it and do the best that you can to try to be Zen in the middle of it all.'

Hewitt also shared to E! News that her daughter's presence in her life has been a blessing following her mother's death last year.  "I really feel like, while it's been the most devastating blow to my heart and my spirit, something about this baby has been a gift from her."

"It has somehow been able to replace incredible grief with incredible joy. I'm very, very, very grateful for that. As every day approaches, I ask myself a lot why is she not here for this? Am I going to get through it without her? But I know she's out there and she's watching me and helping me and I'm going to be the best mother possible in her honor."
