Helen Hunt: It's a Girl!
Motherhood is as good as it gets for Helen Hunt.
The Oscar-winning thesp and her mate, writer-producer Matthew Carnahan, welcomed a baby girl into the world May 13 in Los Angeles, her publicist confirmed Friday.
Named Makena'lei Gordon Carnahan, the little tyke weighed in just under 6 pounds and was three weeks early. Her first name comes from a town in Maui, Hawaii, and her middle name is from Hunt's father, TV director Gordon Hunt.
"Both Helen and the baby are great, perfectly healthy," a source close to the actress told People magazine.
News of the impending bundle of joy was announced in February by the former Mad About You star and boyfriend Carnahan (Fastlane).
The show-biz duo has been an item since 2001. It's the first child for Hunt, who was married to actor Hank Azaria from 1999 to 2000 (after years of couplehood), and it's the second child for Carnahan.
Little Makena'lei's arrival was well-timed, since mommy just wrapped two movies: HBO's Empire Falls, in which she costars with Paul Newman, Robin Wright Penn and Ed Harris; and the drama A Good Woman, opposite Scarlett Johansson and Tom Wilkinson.
Carnahan, meanwhile, was the man behind Fox's flashy series Fastlane, starring Tiffani Thiessen and Peter Facinelli, which was canceled after a short run in 2002. He also produced and created the defunct John Stamos crime drama Thieves for ABC in 2001 and Rudyland, a documentary on former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani.
