Unveiling her bundles of joy. Shay MitchellShared the first photo of her 2nd daughter with her partner Matte Babel and revealed the little one’s name one day after announcing she gave birth.

“Losing the most important person in my life in the same year I welcomed my second daughter has shifted everything for me, but one thing remains steady in my soul — I’m certain they spent time together and that brings me peace and joy,” Mitchell, 35, wrote via Instagram on Sunday, June 5. “We’re so happy you’re here Rome, named after my best friend, my soulmate, my ‘person,’ my Grandma Romaine. ❤️.”

The DollfaceStar told her Instagram followers that baby No. 2 was on the way in February. 2 was on the way with topless bump photos, but she also described her conflicting feelings about celebrating the pregnancy while still mourning her grandmother’s death.

“Saying goodbye to a loved one while simultaneously experiencing the joy of welcoming another into this world is the great cycle of life,” Mitchell told her followers at the time via an Instagram caption. “It is also my most challenging season to date. I can’t help but think this was the universe’s plan all along, knowing I would need other worldly joy to cushion the blow of losing one of the most important people in my life. Yet, this is proof of the fact that love, loss and life can be deeply intertwined. Gram, I miss and love you every day. We are so excited to see you, little one. I breathe a sigh of peace knowing you two are already connected in such a cosmic way.”

After she revealed that she was honoring her late grandmother on Sunday, the Canada native quickly received a flood congratulatory messages.

“This is so beautiful Shay. Congratulations. ❤️,” former PLLCostar Tyler Blackburn commented.

I. Marlene King, Pretty Little Liars showrunner, added, “All the love in the world. Congratulations 💖💖💖.”

Mitchell revealed that she gave birth when she showed up at a Los Angeles event for her BÉIS luggage brand sporting a crop top and no baby bump.

“I recently just had my second child and this is why this is all so much sweeter because this is the first time I’ve actually been outside of the house since having her,” she told E! NewsSaturday

She shared her big night out via Instagram Story. “Mom and Dad night out,” Mitchell said in a video showing Babel driving them to the event. However, the clip was taken at sunset, indicating they didn’t exactly paint the town red. “More like night IN. Back to bed,” she jokingly captioned the video.
