Baby love for Riverdale‘s Erinn Westbrook! The actress made a surprise announcement on Wednesday, revealing that she had quietly welcomed her first child last month. 

In a sweet photo post shared to Instagram, Westbrook showed off her new bundle of joy lying on a blue blanket while dressed in a sweet knitted two piece and bonnet. 

“No greater love,” she wrote. “Welcome to the world, Teddy – born August 23, 2023. You are the light of our lives & we love you endlessly. 💫”
