Sharing the news - and the girl’s unique name - just like an album release, Darren wrote, “M & D made some sweet music,” he wrote, “Bluesy Belle Criss. 4/11/22⁣. Out now.”

Fans and famous friends immediately rushed to share their congratulations, including Glee co-star ​​ Max Adler, who said, “Yessss!!!! Congrats you guys!!!!” and Modern Family star Jesse Tyler Ferguson, who wrote, “Congrats my friend!”

Darren, who also starred in American Crime Story, and Mia married in a New Orleans wedding in 2019 after almost ten years together.

They used another musical reference when they announced they were expecting, saying, “We’ve been making music for years… But this time we made a BEAT.⁣ ⁣The ultimate collab droppin Spring 2022.”

Mia, who sings and plays the bass, also works in the entertainment industry but in more of a behind the scenes role as a writer and producer.

Celebs love Blue

While Bluesy Belle is definitely a unique name by Australian standards, many celebs have chosen to give their offspring monikers that are variations of 'Blue'.

Beyonce and Jay Z's daughter Blue Ivy is likely the most well known Blue, but there's also Alicia Silverstone's son Bear Blu, U2 singer The Edge's daughter Blue Angel, and Geri Halliwell's daughter Bluebell Madonna.
