'Queen Sugar' Star Amirah Vann Welcomes 1st Child at 40 with Fiancé Patrick Oyeku — See Photo

"Queen Sugar" star Amirah Vann, 40, is basking in newfound maternal bliss after welcoming her first child with her fiancé, Patrick Oyeku. Take a look at her first picture!

"How to Get Away With Murder" star Amirah Vann and her fiancé Patrick Oyeku have been blessed with their first child, a baby girl named Nyla Fe Oyeku.

The actress took to Instagram to introduce her little bundle of joy to the world with a sweet Instagram photo. Covered with floral blanket, the baby girl peacefully slept in her crib.

Vann did not reveal her daughter's face in the photo. "Our life has new meaning," the doting mother captioned the post. Her fans are looking forward to a picture revealing her full face.

Vann's fans, friends, and loved ones flooded the comments section with congratulatory notes and love-laden messages. They were all so excited to see the newborn.

"There she is there she is there she is!! Please put up more pictures this is not enough!," composer Laura Karpman wrote. "Welcome to the world little bundle of blessings. We all love you soooo much already," a fan gushed.

The pregnancy was not devoid of challenges.

Oyeku proudly took to his Instagram to share the same photo. "We dreamt it and it’s now a reality. Nyla Fe Oyeku, welcome to the world," he captioned the post.

Vann and Oyeku decided to grow their family amid the pandemic. In December 2020, Vann shared how she and her fiancé tried hard to get pregnant.

Vann used ovulation strips to know the optimal time to plan the baby. She was pretty nervous to take the pregnancy test, but when she saw it was positive, her heart was filled with unspeakable joy.

It took some time for the "Queen Sugar" star to realize there is no perfect time to have a baby. It is a choice women make — neither the world nor their careers stop for them.

The pregnancy was not devoid of challenges. Sixteen weeks into her pregnancy, Vann was diagnosed with cervical insufficiency that required her to get a Shirodkar cerclage to ensure the safety of her baby.

Throughout the tough journey, Vann's husband stuck by her side. He helped her get through 2020 and kept making her laugh. Oyeku's love and support gave Vann the strength she needed to embrace the changes.
