English actress and singer-songwriter Suki Waterhouse is celebrating the birth of her first child. 

The Daisy Jones and the Six star, 32, took to Instagram late Thursday evening to share the first photo of the new addition to their family. 

In the ethereal polaroid picture, Waterhouse poses for the camera as she cradles the swaddled newborn.

"Welcome to the world angel ❤️," Waterhouse captioned the photo.

In the comments, Waterhouse's famous friends — including The Vampire Diaries star Nina Dobrev and socialite Paris Hilton — flooded the post with their congratulations for the new parents.

While Waterhouse did not comment on the gender, name, or date of the child's birth, Daily Mail reported in March that the longtime couple had welcomed their first child. 

In November, the couple announced that they were expecting their first child together. Waterhouse first announced her pregnancy in November during a performance at the Corona Capital Festival in Mexico.

In a fan-captured video posted on X (formerly Twitter), she addressed her glittery pink outfit, telling the audience, "I'm extra sparkly today because I thought it might distract you from something else that's going on."

She then opened the feathery coat she was wearing over her formfitting minidress to reveal a baby bump, prompting cheers and applause from the crowd. "I'm not sure if it's working," she added. 

A week later, a source told PEOPLE the couple are "thrilled" about having their first child on the way. "A baby coming is an absolute joy for them," the source said. "They are thrilled beyond words.”

Another source added, "They are ready for a child, and looking forward to becoming parents. Even though they are both professionals who work a great deal, this is something they want. They know their lives will change, and they are excited.”

One month later, she debuted her growing baby bump on the red carpet at the Fashion Awards 2023 Presented by Pandora.

Before her announcement, a source disclosed that the A-list pair was expecting their first child.

"Suki Waterhouse and Rob Pattinson are expecting their first child together. She is so happy, excited, and appreciative of this experience. Suki and Rob are adorable together," the source said. 

Pattinson and Waterhouse were first romantically linked in July 2018 and began living together in London during the coronavirus pandemic, where he filmed his titular superhero role in "The Batman".

During that time, an insider told PEOPLE that their relationship appeared to be "On the fast track,".

"They are very loved-up," the source said in July 2020. "They haven't been together that long. But everything seems on the fast track. They are always laughing and smiling at each other,".

During his appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in February, Pattinson disclosed that seeing Waterhouse's reaction to "The Batman" had "kind of changed the entire thing" for him.

"I'm pretty sure she's not normally into watching superhero movies," Pattinson said. "And just seeing that it was capturing her attention the entire time, and then she held my hand and touched it [to her face] and I could feel a little tear. And I was like, 'No way!' ".

In an interview with "The Sunday Times" in February 2023, Waterhouse opened up about her long-term relationship with Pattinson.

"I'm shocked that I'm so happy with someone for nearly five years," she said, adding that the couple never goes more than two months without seeing each other. 

"I had two days off the other day, and it was like, no question I'm going back to see him,".

Waterhouse also shared that she still gets "incredibly excited" when Pattinson's name pops up on her phone.

"I think he feels the same about me," she noted. "We've always got so much to say, and I find him hilarious."

In May, the couple attended the Met Gala together for the first time. The "Daisy Jones & The Six" star dazzled in a sheer floral dress, while the Twilight alum looked handsome in a custom blue suit that featured a sweeping pleated skirt.
