Ginny & Georgia’s Brianne Howey Welcomes 1st Baby With Husband Matt Ziering

Congratulations are in order for "Ginny & Georgia" actress Brianne Howey and her husband, Matt Ziering!

The couple announced they had become first-time parents in a statement shared over Father's Day weekend on social media. While they did not disclose whether their tot was a girl or a boy, they did post a sweet photo that ignited an expectedly exciting reaction from their friends, fans, and fellow celebrities.

The Howey-Ziering has grown by one member three months after they informed their joint fanbase that they were expecting their first child together. For the baby's arrival news, Howey opted to post an image that showed her smiling at the camera, with her exhaustion visible on her face. 

The new mom held her naked newborn, who wore a pink and blue striped beanie on its head, across her chest. Beneath the heartwarming photo, the "Batwoman" star gushed:

"My whole world just got a whole lot sweeter. And smaller. Welcome my little love 💛."

The good news promptly brought her "Ginny & Georgia" co-stars out in their droves, with Sara Waisglass, who plays Max on the comedy series, commenting, "Sobbing. congratulations mama!!!"

"OH MY GOD CONGRATULATIONS," Howey's on-screen daughter, Antonia Gentry, penned, as former showrunner Debra J. Fisher effused, "So many happy tears. Congratulations!"

The show's creator Sarah Lampert exclaimed, "Ahhhhh congrats this is the most beautiful image I've ever seen!!!!!" and American-Australian actor Diesel La Torraca chimed, "Our teeniest tiniest lil peach is HERE!!!! 🍑😍✨ Love you Momma well done!!! ❤️.”

Similarly, this fan wrote, "Would expect nothing less than you looking perfect right after childbirth! Congratulations to everyone's fave Netflix mom!" A second fan added, "This makes my heart so happy @ Thank you for telling us, I wish you to have the best days with your forever little one."

The one million likes the post has received is a top contender for Howey's pregnancy announcement post, which has earned over 1.4 million likes since March. The rising Hollywood star had shared a single shot of herself in a floor-length maxi dress that highlighted the bulging bump she was sporting.

She donned a blue, long-sleeved jacket over the dress, complementing the fit with brown pumps and a silver Cuban link necklace. The "Scream Queens" alum typed in the caption:

"@boss show with my forever new +1 🥰🤎 thanks for having us! Loved every second of the new collection #hugoboss."

As expected, the post attracted an influx of congratulatory and enthusiastic responses, like this one from a fan that screamed, "SO HAPPY FOR YOU."

With the success that "Ginny & Georgia" has enjoyed since its premiere in 2021, getting more seasons of it will not surprise avid viewers. In fact, fans were beyond excited when they learned that Netflix ordered two more seasons of the comedy-drama. 

As noted by The Blast, the news was shared via the show's official Instagram with a simple "3 & 4" written in white against a black background and a caption acknowledging viewers' role in the series becoming a hit. It read, "This is because of the fans 🙏🫶🍑❤️."

"I was worried that Netflix would cancel the show… thank goodness it's not over!!!" one ecstatic fan celebrated in the comments. Another netizen stated, "Aaah gngbts 😭🍑 congratulations to all!!! So much love for the peaches," and a third yelled, "I SCREAMED FINALLY WE LOVE YA'LL. SO EXCITED." 

Meanwhile, one worried fan expressed concern over Netflix's plans, penning, "But plzzzzzz don't tell me u wrote the 4th to be the last I don't deserve that kinda pain." The fan's worries are not entirely displaced, as it was previously reported that the show had undergone friction.

The continuous tension between Lampert and Fisher resulted in the latter getting replaced by Sarah Glinski, who was reportedly hired before the Writers Guild of America (WGA) strike began on May 2. 

As it turns out, Glinski has quite the experience under her belt, previously working as an executive producer on "Degrassi: The Next Generation," a writer for "Little Mosque on the Prairie," and a creative producer on "Taste Buds." She has also won some awards, including two Canadian Screenwriter Awards, and was called one of Hollywood Reporter's Next Generation in 2013.
