"This melts me - Lily Collins"

Los Angeles, April 2

Hollywood actress Lily Collins, who is known for 'Emily in Paris', has shared an adorable update about her daughter.

The actress, 37, and her husband Charlie McDowell welcomed their little girl, Tove Jane McDowell, through surrogate on January 31, 2025, reports 'People' magazine.

The actress recently posted a picture on the Stories section of her Instagram showing that Tove had just reached a seriously sweet milestone.

As per 'People', in the picture, Tove could be seen sitting in her high chair with a full head of ashy brown hair, with Collins showing her 29 million followers that her daughter's tresses were getting long enough for her to tie them back as she put Tove's hair into a cute, mini ponytail. "This melts me," she wrote alongside the precious images.

Lily Collins took the pictures while Tove was wearing two bibs and tucking into a meal, seemingly at home.

She and McDowell sparked dating rumors in 2019 and confirmed they were in a relationship a month later by making their romance Instagram official. The couple then got engaged in 2020 and wed the following year, before welcoming Tove four years later.

"Welcome to the center of our world Tove Jane McDowell", Lily Collins and Charlie wrote on Instagram at the time.

They also publicly thanked their surrogate, writing, "Words will never express our endless gratitude for our incredible surrogate and everyone who helped us along the way. We love you to the moon and back again".

Since then, the actress has experienced her first Mother's Day with her bundle of joy, and spoke about how becoming a parent has changed her life.

"You have expanded my world, broadened my horizons, and widened my smile more than I knew was possible. And to think, it's only the beginning. I couldn't be more grateful or honored to be your mum", she added.

It's great they publicly thanked their surrogate. Surrogacy is a complex and beautiful journey, and acknowledging the woman who helped them is very respectful. More power to them.

While I'm happy for them, I can't help but feel a bit overwhelmed by the constant celebrity baby updates on my feed. Maybe it's just me, but sometimes it feels like too much information is shared online, even for milestones.

The first ponytail is a huge deal for any parent! My wife saved a lock of our daughter's hair from her first haircut in a little box. These moments are pure gold, celebrity or not.

"Welcome to the center of our world" – what a beautiful way to put it. Parenthood really does change your entire universe. Blessings to the little one. ❤️

Interesting to see the different paths to parenthood. Surrogacy, while more common in the West, is still a topic not discussed openly enough in many parts of India. This normalizes it a bit.
