Blake Lively and  Ryan Reynolds are said to be the proud parents of a bouncing baby  girl.

The 27-year-old  actress gave birth at a hospital near their home in Bedford, New York, just  before the New Year, Page Six reported on Monday. 

The baby’s sex and  name were not known, but now a message of congratulations from a woman who  claims to work at Westchester Medical Center seems to have let the details  slip.

The message from  @kimbanksy read: ‘Congrats @blakelively #blakelively glad to have you and  baby girl violet in our care.’

The tweet, first  picked up by Page Six, could not be immediately  verified. 

MailOnline reached  out to Blake’s representative for comment but did not receive an immediate  response. 

According to a  previous report in UsWeekly, Ryan, 38, who married Blake in 2012 following 11  months of dating, had been helping to ensure his stunning spouse enjoyed a  care-free pregnancy.

Letting slip? This Twitter user, who claims to work  at Westchester Medical Center, posted this message on Tuesday

The insider told  the publication: ‘Ryan is being such a sweet hubby, he’s giving her foot and  back rubs constantly! He jokes that she doesn’t even have to ask anymore, he  just automatically does it.’

The former Gossip  Girl star recently gushed about how devoted her husband is.

She said: ‘He’s  always good to me. That’s like a jerky thing to say because you want to be able  to complain about your husband and be that person, but he takes pretty good care  of me.’

She also told  UsWeekly that becoming a mother was something that she had ‘always wanted’ from  an early age.

She said: ‘Its  something that I’ve always wanted ever since I was a little girl’

Adding: ‘I knew I  wanted to have a lot of kids because I had come from a big family so it was  always important to me. So it’s just the excitement of that finally being  here.’ 

Blake has been  documenting her pregnancy on her new lifestyle website Preserve.

Revealing the  pregnancy news by showing off a bump picture on the site, the actress also  posted shots from her baby shower.

She has also  referred to the website as her ‘baby’ saying: ‘It’s definitely a baby for a  reason. It’s been the greatest learning experience I’ve had.’

‘It’s so  empowering to have a profession that I control,’ Lively said. “I’m responsible  for success or failure and that responsibility is one that I really  appreciate.’

Interestingly,  Blake has yet to comment on her official Instagram page.

However, on Monday  she posted a picture of a pillow that she made, and thanked her followers for  compliments she received for the design.
