Her character just gave birth this season on '30 Rock' and now Elizabeth Banks is a mom in real life! The actress Tweeted her good news early Wednesday: "What's greater than overjoyed? Megajoyed? Add humility, love, awe. Sprinkle w cute. Result: my new life as a mom. It's a boy!"
Banks and husband Max Handelman welcomed son Felix via gestational surrogate. The 'Zack and Miri Make a Porno' actress turned to her blog to talk more about her new baby boy.
"I have been very fortunate in life both professionally and personally. I have had untold number of opportunities to work with inspiring people, on great projects as an actress, and I have had a fantastic long term relationship of nearly 20 years with my now husband, Max," Banks wrote.
She also revealed her struggles with fertility. "The one true hurdle I've faced in life is that I have a broken belly. After years of trying to get pregnant, exploring the range of fertility treatments, all unsuccessful, our journey led us to gestational surrogacy: we make a 'baby cake' and bake it in another woman's 'oven'," she said.
"From that came two miracles. The first was meeting our carrier and her husband who were truly humbling in their decency and generosity," she said of her surrogate.
Finally, she revealed the special meaning behind her son's name. "The second miracle was the birth of our baby boy, Felix Handelman. Felix means 'happy' and 'lucky' in Latin. And true to his name, Felix is a very happy baby and a blessing on our life," she wrote.
