Attention, Upper East Siders: Former Gossip Girl star Jessica Szohr is now a mother. Szohr, who played Vanessa Abrams on the hit CW series, welcomed a daughter with longtime boyfriend Brad Richardson at the start of 2021. She announced the news on Instagram Wednesday and revealed her child’s unique name.
“Added a little special sweetness to our family and some new directions to our journey on 1-11-21,” Szohr wrote alongside a black-and-white photo of the baby’s hands. “Bowie Ella Richardson 🙂 🎀🤍 This journey with Brad and (his daughter) Lexi has been one of the most beautiful experiences of my life. To then create a human that is absolutely perfect in our eyes and put a feeling in my heart I didn’t know existed is beyond words. I have all the feels and she is really something special :)”

Throughout her pregnancy, Szohr (who dated Gossip Girl costar Ed Westwick from 2008 to 2010) has shared updates with her followers. On Dec. 30, she posted a recap of her year set to David Bowie’s “Changes,” a likely hint at her daughter’s name. Szohr wrote, “My 2020 in review: No resolutions achieved. (I blame COVID) However, @brichrdson15 and I did make a little human. Still in awe of the transformation my body has gone through during pregnancy. Simply amazing the power of a woman’s body! :)”
