Zooey Deschanel now has a husband!
The actress had reportedly gotten married in secret to her executive producer boyfriend, Jacob Pechenik and gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. Whew! So much exciting and dramatic life transitions for the "New Girl" actress!
Zooey Deschanel and her new husband reportedly tied the knot in June, keeping details of the wedding under the wraps until recently, when a rep announced that Deschanel had given birth.
"I am thrilled to confirm that Zooey Deschanel and her husband, Jacob Pechenik, are new parents to a beautiful healthy baby girl," the rep said.
Deschanel and Pechenik reportedly tied the knot in Austin, Texas.
Prior to giving birth, the "500 Days of Summer" actress recently told Cosmopolitan that she will not be in any "after baby body" issue of any magazine anytime soon.
"Haven't we all seen those pictures of a sexy new mom in a bikini after one month?" she said. "I will not be that person."
"I've always gone my own course and never been someone who had the need to be super skinny. I like a healthy look," the actress said, who is known to be very outspoken about body image.
She added, "I don't buy into that skinny-is-better mentality. I just eat healthy and work out and don't worry about my weight too much. Actresses aren't models, and most of them never wanted to be."
Meanwhile, during her appearance in Jimmy Kimmel's show, Deschanel spoke about the struggles of pregnancy.
"You can't have sushi. You can't have cheese that tastes good," she said. "You can have a little bit (of coffee), but I would have, like, four cups a day. And now I can have a half cup, which is a joke! It's a total joke!"
Deschanel also revealed that she and Pechenik decided to wait until the baby's birth to find out about its gender.
"It's more fun, you know. Make it into a game!" she laughed.
