It was in May this year when Assunta De Rossi announced the amazing news that she and husband Jules Ledesma were expecting their first child together. The 37-year-old actress had been trying to conceive for as long as she and Jules have been married, 18 years, and called her pregnancy a "miracle." And finally, her ~miracle baby~ was delivered on Friday, October 23.

Assunta welcomed a healthy baby girl named Giulia Fiorentina Alessandra, or baby Fiore for short. The new mom's first Instagram post of her new baby was an explanation of her daughter's three beautiful names—all of which are Italian names, a nod to her Italian heritage. Writing on Insta, Assunta shared that each name is a tribute to special family members of both Assunta and Jules:
"GIULIA - Just like how you pronounce Julia (sorry, no letter J in the Italian alphabet) as a tribute to her paternal great-grandfather, Don Julio.
"FIORENTINA - As a tribute to her paternal great-grandmother, Doña Florentina aka Lola Puring (Lola's name is the Spanish version).
"ALESSANDRA - As a tribute to my sister [Alessandra De Rossi] and our Lola Alejandra aka Inang. Plus, I like its meaning, defender/protector.
"So there you have it! I hope she knows how much we wanted her."
