Jonas and Make It or Break It star Nicole Anderson welcomes daughter Charlotte and gushes she’s ‘deeply in love’
MAKE It or Break It and Disney Channel’s Jonas actress Nicole Gale Anderson welcomed daughter Charlotte over the weekend on Fourth of July.
The Independence Day baby is her and her husband Roberto Paniagua’s first child.
Nicole, 29, shared the exciting news of her daughter’s birth with an Instagram photo of the little girl sleeping on Sunday.
She wrote: “A full moon eclipse and display of fireworks greeted Charlie into the world last night.
“She’s absolutely perfect and the spitting image of her papa. I’m so deeply in love.”
The new mother and Roberto eloped in 2018 before having a full wedding celebration with their friends and family a year later.
The CW’s Beauty and the Beast alum shared photos from the “intimate backyard” event in January 2019, writing: “When our families expressed they wished they’d been there with us, we decided to do it over again.
“This time in a small & intimate backyard setting that we couldn’t have gotten together without the help of our families!
“I think that’s what made this event so special- everyone came together with willing hands and blew me away with such selfless generosity.”
In February 2020, Nicole announced she was five months pregnant with a photo of herself cradling her baby bump.
She revealed that her and her husband had already chosen the baby girl’s name: Charlotte Harper.
In the birth announcement, they’d already decided on Charlie as her nickname.
Last month, the Mean Girls 2 actress, who’s been living on a flower farm in Washington for a while now, said she planned on having a “home birth” and was handling the logistics with her “amazing midwife.”
She received some love from her Make It or Break It co-stars, including Chelsea Tavares and Chelsea Hobbs.
Chelsea Hobbs recently welcomed her own baby, son Jones Powell, in May.
He is Chelsea’s third child, after daughter Wylie and son Kingston, and first with husband James Neate.
Nicole’s most recent acting credits include the 2018 TV movie The Wedding Do Over with Parker Young and her role as Heather Chandler on CW’s Beauty and the Beast with Kristin Kreuk from 2012 to 2016.
