The actress suffered a devastating miscarriage in the past so the birth of her daughter undoubtedly an emotional moment for the You star.

She opened up about the loss earlier this year;

"The first time that I was pregnant last year, Matt and I hadn't been planning, it happened and we were really excited about it.

"I was like 14 weeks, at that point, I had no idea the percentage of miscarriages. When it happened I was just, completely blindsided by it,” Shay added.

The mum didn’t want to announce her pregnancy too early because of her past heartache. 

"I chose to hold on until I announced because of the first time. It didn't go as I had hoped for, and it was extremely difficult,” she explained.
