Twilight star Peter Facinelli has confimed that his actress partner Lily Anne Harrison has given birth to the couple’s first child together.

The 48-year-old actor, who played the role of Dr Carlisle Cullen in the hit fantasy movie franchise, took to Instagram to announce the news as he posted a black and white image of the newborn’s hand wrapped around his finger.

“Happy “Labor” Day @lilyanneharrison [red heart emoji] Sept 5th, 2022,” he wrote alongside the image, followed by a baby bottle emoji and a baby emoji.

He did not disclose the name or gender of the child.

Harrison, 33, has not posted her own baby announcement online, but did reshare Facinelli’s on Instagram Stories, adding crying emojis.

This marks The Vanished star’s first child, while Facinelli is also dad to son Luca, 25, and daughters Lola, 19, and Fiona, 15, with ex-wife Jennie Garth.

Harrison announced her pregnancy on Instagram in June, sharing a photo of her baby bump and writing: “Not a burrito belly.”

The couple first got together back in 2016, with Facinelli asking her to marry him three years later.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, they have yet to walk down the aisle. However, the 13 Minutes actor is hoping that they will be able to make it official this year.

In a recent interview with People, he said: “I want [our wedding] to be in a world where there’s no masks.”

Adding: “I already feel married. We have everything besides the piece of paper and the party!”
