Actress
Maura Jo West and her husband, actor
Scott DeFreitas welcomed their fourth child together on
June 16th. Daughter Birdie West DeFreitas came into the world weighing 7 lbs., 13 oz and measuring 20 inches long.
Baby girl joins
Benjamin Crawford West Knight, 13, (Maura’s son with ex-husband
Jonathan Knight),
Joseph Peter DeFreitas, 9,
Katherine Marie DeFreitas, 7, and
Basil John DeFreitas, 2.
ETA: Apparently she was named after Scott’s grandmother Birdie.
Joseph's middle name is also honoring after
Maura's brother
Peter.
This is the second celebrity Birdie born recently (Busy Phillips’ daughter is also Birdie). Personally, I don’t mind it as a nickname, but not a fan of it as a full name. It also doesn’t seem to go with the more classic names her other kids have.
