Lea Michele has welcomed her second child and revealed the name of her baby girl.

The actress, 37, is best known for playing Rachel Barry on the series Glee from 2009 until 2015.

In 2020 she welcomed her first child, son Ever Leo, with husband Zandy Reich, whom she had married a year earlier.

Now Lea has announced the arrival of her daughter.

Posting a photo of Instagram of her daughter wrapped in a blanket, Lea, Zandy and Ever’s hands were all seen clutching one of the baby’s legs.

‘Our hearts are so full 🤍 Emery Sol Reich 💕’ she captioned the post.

She was quickly flooded with messages of support from fans.

‘I AM IN LOVEEEEEE WITH HER NAME,’ Barbara commented.

‘The biggest congratulations on your newest addition,’ Amy posted.

‘Cryingggg omgggg congratulations the name is perfect,’ Alyssa added.

A few days before giving birth, Lea celebrated her son’s 4th birthday, sharing a photo on social media in which she embraced him.

Ever could be seen wearing a T-shirt that read: ‘In My Big Brother Era.’

In recent years Lea has spoken about her struggles to conceive, sharing in 2021 that she considered ‘just stopping’ trying to get pregnant before having Ever.

‘I kept thinking, “Maybe this isn’t meant to be for me. Maybe this isn’t going to happen.” It’s something that for me, personally, was always my biggest fear in my entire life. It’s what I’ve wanted more than anything. Emotionally, it just started to build and build … then we got pregnant.’

The following year, Lea revealed her struggles to conceive again after welcoming her son.

‘Our journey bringing [our second baby] into this world was not easy, and we have had some heartbreaks already this time around,’ she shared on Instagram, adding that she had ‘faith God will bring us another when the time is right’.

Lea announced her second pregnancy in March, sharing a series of photos of herself posing in a white shawl and underwear, while cradling her growing bump.

‘Mommy, Daddy and Ever are overjoyed. 💛,’ she wrote in her caption.

She then revealed the sex of her second baby on Mother’s Day, writing: ‘The most beautiful Mother’s Day today, holding my son who made me a mama…and carrying my daughter.’
