Tags: Births

Dancing With the Stars and E! News co-host Samantha Harris, 33, and her husband Michael Hess welcomed their first child, a daughter, early this morning in Los Angeles.

Josselyn Sydney arrived a few weeks early, weighing in at 6 lbs, 12 oz and 20 inches when she made her debut at 1:49 am. Needless to say, Samantha will be missing the DWtS premiere tomorrow evening, despite her best intentions! In a statement, Samantha said,

Michael and I are ecstatic to have a little girl to welcome into our lives. We can't wait to introduce her to our family and friends in the morning!

The pair announced the pregnancy in April and chose not to find out the sex until delivery. Click here for the pregnancy diary Samantha kept for Fitness magazine.

Congrats Samantha and Michael. I really love the name they chose. I wonder who will co-host DWTS tomorrow night, I'd heard possibly Drew Lachey would be substituting, but I haven't heard anything confirmed, yet.

Girl deliveries are running wild! ;) And I love what she and Michael named her. So cute! Congratulations to them! :)

Posted by: FC at Sep 24, 2007 10:13:14 PM

Should be spelled Jocelyn. The twist reminds me of Joss Stone. Probably going to be her nickname.

Posted by: Jenn at Sep 25, 2007 8:41:44 AM

Jenn~ Joss Stone's name is Joscelyn Eve Stoker... so you could be right. IF they choose to use a nickname. I think the spelling is just as cute as any of the other potential ways to spell it. I have a 20 yr. old that is named Alexandria. If she is called Alex by someone, she politely corrects them. Congratulations to S&M.

I have a Joselyn in class (I'm a teacher) and she goes by Josie. I think it's a cute name!
