On Monday, TMZ first reported that Turner had given birth to the couple’s first child, a baby girl, at a hospital in Los Angeles last Wednesday.
According to the outlet, the couple has named their daughter Willa.
A statement from a representative for the Game of Thrones star and Jonas Brothers band member shared Monday said: "Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas are delighted to announce the birth of their baby."
While the new parents did not release any other information, a source told Entertainment Tonight they are "over the moon".
“The couple is already obsessed and can’t stop gloating about their new addition,” the source continued. “The couple is taking time to enjoy this special moment and have only shared the news and updates with family and friends. With the pandemic Joe and Sophie have been very cautious about who is around them and their little girl.”
The couple, who have been married since May 2019, never confirmed that Turner was pregnant when it was first reported in February, however, photos of the actress over recent months have shown her with a pregnant stomach.
In April, Turner opened up about quarantining with her husband in California, telling Conan O’Brien that “everything seems to be working in my favour”.
“Everything seems to be working in my favour here because Joe’s a real social butterfly so I struggle to lock him down and have him just spend time with me so it’s like prison for him [being in quarantine], but it’s great for me,” she told the host, adding that it has been easy for her to stay home because she is “an introvert”.
“If I could stay at home all day, I would so this is great for me,” she continued. “I leave the house once a day anyway to walk my dogs and then that’s it so. I see how people are finding it difficult, but I don’t understand how people are really struggling to practice social distancing. I’m like all you have to do is stay at home and like get drunk at home, right?”
On social media, news that the couple had welcomed their first child was met with joy from fans.
“I’m very happy that Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner had their baby. It’s weird considering I don’t know them but I hope they know I’m happy for them,” one fan tweeted.
