Canadian actress Caroline Rhea has given birth to her first child with her longtime boyfriend, comedian Costaki Economopoulos.

The couple welcomed baby daughter, Ava, on Monday. She weighed eight pounds, 15 ounces. Rhea tells People.com: "We wanted the shortest first name possible, since her last name is the alphabet. It was either that or Emmy, because I've always wanted an Emmy."

Rhea first announced her pregnancy in May.
