Lily Collins and Charlie McDowell are embracing parenthood!

Nearly a week after announcing they had welcomed a child via surrogate, the Emily in Paris actress, 35, and the filmmaker, 41, shared new photos of their newborn daughter, Tove Jane McDowell, on Thursday, Feb. 6.

McDowell was the first to post a photo of Tove by sharing an Instagram shot of himself sitting on a brown sofa. He gently held up Tove's arms as she lay on his lap on top of a blanket.

A month later, they made things Instagram official when Collins shared a photo of herself with her head leaning on McDowell’s back. (Collins also has famous parentage, as her parents are Phil Collins and his second wife, Jill Tavelman.)
