Hilary Duff: Becomes mother for the first time, gives birth to baby boy

Actress and singer Hilary Duff has welcomed her first child with NHL player Mike Comrie.

The star gave birth to baby boy Luca Cruz Comrie on Tuesday (March 20), she revealed on Twitter.

"Welcome to the World Luca Cruz Comrie!" she wrote. "Tuesday evening, we became proud parents of a healthy 7 pound 6 ounce beautiful boy.

"We are overjoyed and feel like the luckiest parents in the world. He is surrounded by so much love!! Mom and baby are both doing extremely well."

Last August, Duff announced that she was pregnant with her first child.

Earlier this year, Hilary revealed that she was slightly nervous about becoming a mother for the first time.

Recently, the former Lizzie McGuire actress joked that she looked like a Walking Dead zombie as she entered the latter months of pregnancy.

Duff's hubby officially retired from professional ice hockey last month after having a third hip operation.
