Poppy Montgomery‘s pregnancy has come up roses — andit’s a girl!
The Unforgettable star and her boyfriend, Microsoft executive Shawn Sanford, welcomed their first child together on Monday, April 22, her rep confirms to PEOPLE exclusively.
Daughter Violet Grace Devereux Sanford arrived at 7:57 a.m., weighing in at 6 lbs., 12 oz. and measuring 19.5 inches long. She joins big brother Jackson, 5, Montgomery’s son from a previous relationship.
“We are overjoyed with the arrival of our beautiful angel and filled with gratitude that she is happy, healthy and thriving,” the couple tell PEOPLE.

Gwyneth Paltrow: World’s Most Beautiful – and Last Night’s Most Nearly Naked
Gwyneth Paltrow, world’s most Googled star? Between nabbing PEOPLE’s World’s Most Beautiful crown and the jaw-droppingly sheer dress she wore to the Iron Man 3 premiere, we’d guess she’s well on her way.
For Wednesday’s event, she selected an Antonio Berardi dress that left little to the imagination — about how intense her gym regimen must be or whether she was wearing any undergarments, as the 360° view gave more than a glimpse at the star’s ridiculous derrière.
Why’d she pick it? “You have to ask my stylist,” she said. “I think because it’s sexy. You’ve got all the sheer bits but it’s sort of ‘superheroes’ on top.”
And of course, it shows off the body part that trainer Tracy Anderson calls “my masterpiece,” adding “I’m the most proud of her butt, that’s for sure. Because that was a transformation.” And today, we can all appreciate the results of all that hard work.

Will Reese Witherspoon's Good-Girl Image Be Tainted By Arrest?
'This will blow over [by the time of her next starring role] and it's not really such a big deal," says box-office analyst Jeff Bock.

Few A-list actresses have survived in Hollywood for more than two decades with as little drama as Reese Witherspoon.
The beloved, perpetually sunny Southern Belle has been charming audiences since her first bit part in 1991's "The Man in the Moon," and until her arrest on Friday on disorderly conduct charges
in Atlanta, had managed to avoid the kind of embarrassing late night episodes that so often ensnare the rich and famous.
A notoriously grounded hard worker who won an Oscar in 2005 for her role as June Carter Cash in "Walk the Line," Witherspoon has appeared in more than 30 films over the years, including such critical and audience faves as "Cruel Intentions," "Election," "Legally Blonde," "Sweet Home Alabama" and "Monsters Vs. Aliens."
The four-time People magazine "100 Most Beautiful" people honoree married actor Ryan Phillippe in 1999 and had two children with him before their split in 2006. That relatively drama-free break was pretty much the sum total of her scandal sheet to date.
So, will last Friday's incident leave a mark on her permanent record?
"This will blow over [by the time of her next starring role] and it's not really such a big deal," said Exhibitor Relations box office analyst Jeff Bock of the incident. "She's kind of been off-the-radar in terms of leading lady roles for a while and hasn't really been newsworthy for a long time, so maybe it actually helps."
Witherspoon, who was working on the movie "The Good Life" in Atlanta before the arrest, skipped out on a number of scheduled media appearances
in New York this week to support the indie film "Mud" in the wake of the scandal.
"Any press can't hurt because she's not really in the press now," said Bock, invoking the old "all press is good press" dictum. "I think the perception is that she's Miss Goody Two Shoes and maybe this will help her get edgier roles."
Breanne L. Heldman, New York bureau chief of Yahoo! Entertainment, agreed with Bock that Witherspoon, 37, did the right thing for immediately sending out a heartfelt apology for her actions and attempting to clean up the mess quickly.
"She's maintained that squeaky clean image her whole career ... and at the end of the day, she now has a strike on her record, but [considering that] she's in her late 30s and has managed a career like that for 20 years, people will forgive her pretty quickly," predicted Heldman.
Witherspoon's apology came after her and husband Jim Toth's mugshots leaked following the news of his arrest on Friday for suspicion of DUI and her related arrest for disorderly conduct. As officers were speaking to Toth, an agitated Witherspoon reportedly stuck her head out of the window and said she did not believe the arresting officer was really a cop. After stating that she was a U.S. citizen and that she as allowed to "stand on American ground," Witherspoon reportedly said to the officer, "Do you know my name?," at which point he responded, "No, I don't need to know your name."
The only upshot could be that the limited-release indie "Mud" could, for better or worse, get a bit more attention now and a higher profile because of what's happened. "It was a classy move for her to back out of her appearances, because it was going to be the elephant in the room," said Heldman, noting that it would have been hard for journalists to avoid asking questions about the arrest, or at least alluding to late night host Jimmy Kimmel's monologue jokes about the incident.
"The police report says she asked the cop 'Do you know my name? You're about to find out who I am.' Does that ever work? 'Do you know who I am?' is second only to 'Do you know who my father is?'" joked Kimmel on Monday night. "It's a bad question because the answer is either 'no' — which is embarrassing — or 'yes, and you're going to jail.'" In an irony widely pointed out by the entertainment media, Witherspoon appeared on Kimmel's show in January in a skit in which she joked about being a big drinker.
The actress earned praise in 2011 when she made an inspiring speech
while accepting the Generation Award at the MTV Movie Awards about how it is cool to be a "good girl" and avoid the pitfalls of reality shows, sex tapes and sexting.
"I don't think this humanizes her or makes her more relatable," Heldman said. "There are times when it does for celebrities, but this doesn't in large part because of the things she said to the cop, which were admittedly snobby celebrity behavior." But Heldman suspected Witherspoon would do the smart thing and bounce back by getting behind a law enforcement-related charity or an anti-drunk driving group.
"She made a mistake, cleaned it up pretty quickly and as far as PR goes I'm sure her career will be just fine," said Bock, with Heldman adding that it might knock the star down a peg or two temporarily, but certainly not permanently. "People will [just] say she was trying to defend her man."

Recipients of "Nishan-e-Haider"
Nishan-e-Haider: The Highest Military Award of Pakistan, made of gun metal, captured from the enemy in the previous wars, with a green ribbon and a star with five points is awarded to soldiers who Show great feats of bravery and courage in war or on active duty. It is a coincidence that all recipients of "Nishan-e-Haider' gave away the most valuable thing they had - their lives - in the service of the nation and in defending the frontiers of the motherland. So far 7 officers (including one from the Pakistan Air force) and three men have been awarded with this gallantry award. Here is a brief account of these men, who would be remembered for their feats of courage, bravery and selflessness.
Captain Muhammad Sarwar
Captain Muhammad Sarwar was born in village Singhori (Rawalpindi) in 1910, and joined the British Army (infantry -Punjab Regiment) in 1944. Upon creation of Pakistan he joined Pakistan Army. In July 1948 with war in Kashmir with India, Captain Sarwar launched an attack causing heavy casualties against a strongly fortified enemy position in the Uri Sector under heavy machine gun, grenade and mortar fire. On 27th July 1948, he volunteered to cut the enemy's barbed wire barrier to pave way for the move forward of his follow up comrades. However, while doing so he received a direct burst of enemy's heavy machine gun fire, and embraced shahadat at the spot. For his courage, selflessness and bravery, he was awarded with the first Nishan-e-Haider. Call it a coincidence, that the recipients of next two Nishan-e-Haiders were also from the Punjab Regiment.
Major Tufail Muhammad
Major Tufail Muhammad was born in 1914 and was commissioned in the 16th Punjab Regiment in 1943. Upon creation of Pakistan, he joined Pakistan Army. During 1958, with border skirmishes with India in the erstwhile East Pakistan, Major Tufail Muhammad was commanding a company of the East Pakistan Rifles near the town of Lakshmipur. The company encircled an illegal Indian post, which was erected by the Indians in violation of the internationally recognized boundary between the two countries. During the enemy action, Major Tufail was mortally wounded, but did not stop fighting even at close quarters. In the hand-to-hand encounter that followed, Major Tufail continued to lead his troops till the Indians were driven out, leaving four dead and three prisoners. However, Major Tufail himself succumbed to his wounds and embraced shahadat on the 7th August 1958. He was awarded with the second Nishan-e-Haider for his gallantry.
Major Raja Aziz Bhatti
Major Raja Aziz Bhatti was born in 1928 in Hong Kong and joined the 1st PMA Long Course and was commissioned in 1950 in the Punjab Regiment. He was a very well read officer, having passed out with the coveted Sword of Honour and knew many foreign languages. During the 1965 Indo-Pak war, he was commanding a company in general area Burki of the Lahore Sector. Major Bhatti's defences on the famous BRB (Banmban Wali Ravian Bedian) Link Canal was subjected to heavy Indian repeated attacks coupled with incessant artillery and tank fire for five days and nights. But Major Bhatti and his men stood like a rock. In order to have a clear view of the assaulting enemy, Major Bhatti would often come out of his bunker and stand clear of the canal bank. On 10 September 1965, while he was directing the artillery fire, he was hit by an enemy tank shell. Major Bhatti embraced shahadat and was awarded with the third and the only Nishan-e-Hiader of 1965 war.
Pilot Officer Rashid Minhas
Pilot Officer Rashid Minhas was born on 17th February 1951 and during 1971, he was under training in the Pakistan Air Force. In August 1971, when the Indians had put lot of pressure in the eastern wing, Rashid Minhas was busy in his routine training at PAF Base Masroor. On that fateful day of 20 August 1971, while he was taxiing his aircraft towards to runway, a Bengali dissident Instructor Pilot (IP) forced his way into the rear cockpit of the two-seat jet trainer and in the process hurt Rashid Minhas. The IP seized control of the aircraft and headed toward India. When Minhas regained consciousness, he realized that the absconding pilot was heading towards India, so he tried to regain control of the plane. But being injured, he was not able to take power on the controls, so he forced the aircraft to crash some thirty two miles short of the border. By losaing his own life, he not only saved the aircraft from getting in to the hands of the Indians, but also jeopardized the malafide intentions of his IP. He became the first PAF officer to receive Nishan-e-Haider.
Major Muhammad Akram
Major Akram was born in 1938 in village Dingha (Gujrat) and was commissioned in the Frontier Force Regiment in 1963. During 1971 Indo - Pak war, Major Akram was commanding a rifle company of the 4th FF Regiment in the forward localities of the Hilli district. The position held by Major Akram and his company was very vital and had blocked enemy's route of advance. Therefore it came under continuous and heavy air, artillery and tank attacks. But for almost two weeks, despite enemy superiority in both numbers and fire power, Major Akram and his men remained entrenched and repulsed every attack, inflicting heavy casualties on the enemy. The Indians many a time asked him to surrender but Major Akram refused. Finally, overpowered and fatigued, Major Akram embraced shahadat fighting at close quarter battle in the famous "Battle of Hilli" and was awarded with the fifth Nishan-e-Hiader.
Major Shabir Sharif
Major Shabir Sharif was born in 1943 in village Kunjah (Gujrat) and was commissioned in 1964 in the Frontier Force Regiment. During the 1965 Indo-Pak war, Major Shabir Sharif was awarded with Sitara-e-Jurrat (the third highest gallantry military award) for his courage and bravery. In 971, Major Shabir's 6 FF Regiment, was ordered in December 1971 to capture high ground near Sulemanki Headwork defended by more than a company of the Indian Assam Regiment supported by a squadron of tanks. Major Shabir and his men after crossing a minefield and massive obstacles and killing forty three soldiers and destroying four tanks, Major Sharif and his men held two enemy battalions at bay for days. However, on 6 december, the Indians mounted a fierce attack supported by tanks. Assessing the situation to be critical and not taking any chances with the enemy, Major Shabir himself took over an anti-tank gun from his gunner and fired on the enemy tanks. While doing so, the enemy tank fired its main gun on Major Shabir's location, killing him in the afternoon of 6th December. Brave as he always was, he proved his mettle once again and was awarded with the coveted Nishan-e-Haider.
Sowar Muhammad Hussain
Sowar (the basic rank in the Armoured Corps equivalent to a sepoy) Muhammad Hussain was born in 1949 in Dhok Pir Bakhsh and joined the 20 th Lancers (Armoured Corps) as a driver in 1966. Sowar Hussain was always eager to perform jobs that were not normally meant for drivers and was always in fore fronts to help the others. During the 1971 war, he spotted the enemy digging along a minefield near the village of Harar Khurd. Daring as he was, he on his own initiative called and directed accurate fire at the enemy resulting in the destruction of sixteen of their tanks. However, strange are the ways for the gallant and brave men chosen for them by the Almighty. While he was still directing fire from a recoilless rifles, he was hit in the chest by a burst of machine gun fire and embraced shahadat on 10th December 1971. While he was awarded with the Nishan-e-Haider for his courage and bravery, his village elders as a tribute to his bravery renamed their village as Dhok Muhammad Hussain Janjua.
Lance Naik Muhammad Mahfooz
Lance Naik Muhammad Mahfooz was born in 1944 at Pind Malikan (District of Rawalpindi) and was enlisted in the 15th Punjab Regiment as a sepoy in 1962. In 971 Indo Pak war, he was serving in the 'A' Company and his unit was deployed on the Wagah-Attari Sector near Lahore. The enemy advancing elements pinned down his company positions by unceasing frontal and cross fire from automatic weapons. In the process, his machine gun was destroyed by an enemy shell, but it did not dishearten the spirited Lance Naik, who advanced bare handed towards an enemy bunker whose automatic fire had inflicted heavy casualties. Even though wounded in both legs by shell splinters, when he reached the bunker he stood up and pounced on the enemy, but was hit. Although unarmed and amidst the enemy, he got hold of one of the enemy and was strangling him when another bayoneted him to death during the night of 17th December 1971. Living true to the traditions of the Punjab Regiment, whose three officers had already won Nishan-e-Haider, Lance Naik Muhammad Mahfooz also showed no less courage and gallantry in winning the fourth medal for the Punjab Regiment. Pin Malikan has now been renamed as Mahfoozabad.
Captain "Karnal" Sher Khan
Captain "Karnal (meaning a Colonel)" Sher Khan was commissioned in Pakistan Army in 1990 and later joined the Northern Light Infantry somewhere in 1998. Right from his childhood, he displayed feats of courage and was nicknamed "Kernal" by hisa fellows, which ultimately became a part of his name. Captain Karnal Sher Khan rose to the heights of glory when he emerged as the symbol of mettle and courage during the Kargil conflict on the Line of Control. He set personal examples of bravery and inflicted heavy losses on the enemy. He defended the five strategic posts, which he established with his jawans at the height of some 17,000 feet at Gultari, and repulsed many Indian attacks. After many abortive attempts, on July 5 1998, enemy's two battalion ringed the post of Kernal Sher Khan with the help and unleashed heavy mortar firing and managed to capture some part of the post. Despite facing all odds, he lead a counter-attack and re- captured the lost parts. But during the course he was hit by the machine-gun fire and embraced Shahadat at the same post. For his courage and bravery, he was awarded with Nishan-e-Haider.
Havildar Lalak Jan
Side by side the officers, the men of the Northern Light Infantry, like Havildar Lalak Jan, displayed similar feats of gallantry as were displayed by Captain Kernal Sher Khan and fought furiously to thwart heavy Indian attacks. Although an appointment holder, whose task is to look after his men and provide administrative support, Havildar Lalak Jan volunteered himself to be deployed on the front positions located at the jagged peak in May 1999. Havildar Lalak Jan repulsed many aggressive ventures by the enemy and imposed colossal losses on the enemy. On July7, Havildar Lalak Jan sustained serious injuries as enemy pounded the area with heavy mortar fire. But despite being injured, he retained his position and frustrated the Indian assault. He, however, succumbed to his injuries at the same post he was defending. Havildar Lalak Jan was awarded with the Nishan-e-Haider for his courage and fighting beyond the call of the duty as an appointment holder.
