Maggie Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard Have a Baby Girl!

Actress Maggie Gyllenhaal and her fiancé of nearly five years, actor Peter Sarsgaard, are over the moon after giving birth to their first child, a girl, around 8 p.m. last night an insider said.

Maggie and Peter named the child Ramona after a character in the Beverly Cleary children’s book series, which was a childhood favorite of Maggie’s, says the insider. The moments leading up to the birth were tense, as 28-year-old Maggie went into labor two weeks before her due date and was rushed to a New York City hospital, the insider says.

“Although it was a frightening time for Maggie and Peter, thank God the baby was born healthy,” the insider says. “She and Peter are thrilled with their beautiful new bundle of joy.” The insider adds that Maggie’s brother Jake Gyllenhaal is ecstatic and eager to meet his new niece. The couple have not yet set a wedding date – but now have a reason to start checking their calendars. “Maggie and Peter have always wanted to get married, but with their busy schedules, they just didn’t have time,” explains the insider. “Now that Ramona is here, they have an added incentive to take that walk down the aisle.” Congratulations!
