The actress continued, “Welcome to the world, baby girl. We love you and we thank you for giving us the best 1st Mother’s Day two ladies could ask for.”
Morelli, a screenwriter who met and fell in love with her now wife on the set of Orange Is the New Black, also celebrated their daughter’s arrival in a separate Instagram announcement on Monday.
“4 weeks ago today, our daughter came into the world and changed everything,” Morelli wrote. “We are so happy, so grateful, and so tired. George Elizabeth, 4.11.21.”
