"Glee" star Heather Morris is a mama! On Sept. 28, she gave birth to her first child at the age of 26 with her longtime beau Taylor Hubbell.

According to US Weekly, Morris and Hubbell had a son, whom they named Elijah.

News of Morris' pregnancy broke in April by US Weekly, when she began showing. According to the magazine, the pregnancy was a surprise, but both Morris and Hubbell were excited about being parents.

Hubbel and Morris have been dating for quite some time and attended the same high school together. It seems as though a baby is just the first step for the couple. In 2011, Morris told Fitness magazine, "I want to marry him so bad. That's what I really care about. I want to marry Taylor and have kids with him. I love acting, but if it affects my relationship, then I won't continue doing it."

Morris is best known for playing Brittany S. Pierce on the FOX TV show "Glee," the bisexual former cheerleader at William McKinley High School, who had a relationship with Naya Rivera's Santana character. Morris has left "Glee," however, and will not appear in the show's fifth season.

Meanwhile, Hubbell is a college baseball player at University of Louisiana at Lafayette.

Congratulations to the happy couple!
