Smash star Megan Hilty and her hubby, actor Brian Gallagher have given birth to their first child, a rep confirms to the Los Angeles Times.

According to her rep, their daughter is named Viola Philomena and was born in New York City on Thursday, Sept. 18.

The former theater actress-turned-TV-star met her hesband at a New York Fitness class while they were both on Broadway. In November 2013 Hilty and Gallagher married at the Las Vegas Venetian Hotel and Casino.

"Two years ago today I met the man of my dream and now we're proud to announce we're starting a family," the actress tweeted.

Hilty made her Broadway debut in the musical Wicked as the standby for Glinda. She went on to have continued success on the small screen when she got the role to star in the NBC musical TV series Smash, starring Katharine McPhee and Debra Meessing. The show was cancelled after two seasons in May 2013.

Gallagher currently writes, records and plays music in Los Angeles. He states, "I love the New York Mets. I love sensible Makers Mark Manhattan. I love my job. I love my family. I love my friends. I love my Megan," via his website. 

Hilty had been very vocal about cravings during her pregnancy.

"I want everything I can't have: Sushi, tuna fish," Megan said. "I was never a sweets person, and now I have to have at least one cookie every day. Lots more sweets than I'm used to. I make my husband's coffee in the morning, just so I can stick my face in and smell it before I give it to him, because I gave it up. I know you can have stuff in moderation, but I'm leaving it all behind," she added. "I really want the whole bottle of wine. Like, what's one glass good for?!"
