Emily Blunt has given birth to a baby daughter.

'The Devil Wears Prada' actress and her husband, John Krasinski, welcomed their first child into the world on February 16 and have already settled on a name.

Announcing the happy news on Twitter, John wrote: "Emily and I are so incredibly happy to welcome our daughter Hazel into the world today! Happy bday!"

He also added he and Emily wanted to "let the news out directly" by announcing it themselves.

Emily, 30 and John - who stars in the US version of 'The Office' - started dating in 2008 and got engaged a year later before tying the knot in Italy in 2010.

John, 34, has been comforting his wife as she reached the later stages of pregnancy, with a source recently saying: "John's trying to make the pregnancy as easy as possible for Emily. He's going to make a great father."

In preparation for the new arrival, Emily spent $35,000 on baby items at luxury boutique Petit Tresor.

The British actress - who has previously described being married to John as "an effing blast" - has also said they're likely to have more children.

She said: "We're both from big families, so I think it's something we want."
