A source told ET that they welcomed a baby girl last Wednesday in L.A., revealing that the couple is taking time to enjoy this special moment and have only shared the news and updates with family and friends.

"With the pandemic, Joe and Sophie have been very cautious about who is around them and their little girl." the source added.

The couple tied the knot last year in two ceremonies. They tied-the-knot for the first time on May 1 in a surprise wedding in Las Vegas after the 2019 Billboard Music Awards—and thanks to Instagram live, fans saw the whole thing.

The couple was surrounded by A-list friends and family, including Priyanka Chopra, Nick Jonas, Kevin Jonas, and Danielle Jonas.

They got married for the second time at the romantic Le Château de Tourreau in France.

The couple began dating in 2016, after being introduced by mutual friends. Jonas proposed to Turner with a $150,000 diamond ring in September 2017.
