She also celebrated her husband's "Girl Dad" status:

The couple's new baby has one big sister, Koma and Duff's first child Banks, 2, and one big brother, Duff's 8-year-old son Luca from her previous marriage to Mike Comrie. On Friday, Duff posted a photo of Banks in the bathtub with the caption, "I'm a big sister ....... marinating on how I feel about that!"

Big-brother Luca looks like he's pretty smitten with the new addition:

Duff announced her third pregnancy in October. "We are growing!!! Mostly me ..." Duff wrote.

She revealed in January that she was seven months pregnant then.

Duff spoke to People in December about her third pregnancy, detailing how it was different from her previous two.

"This pregnancy feels easier because there was a lot of fear with bringing a new baby home when Luca was already 6½. I'm more tired because of having a toddler but have less time to focus on the pregnancy because I'm busy with my kids and work," Duff said. "It's a nice distraction because I’m not googling everything and obsessing over everything that’s happening with the pregnancy."

She added that the couple chose to keep their third baby's gender a surprise to everyone. "We had a gender reveal with Banks and it was such a fun memory," Duff said. "Unfortunately, during these times [with COVID-19] we felt it wasn’t really appropriate. The way we are creating some excitement within the family is to wait to find out the sex on the baby’s birthday! It’s a mixture of friends who are excited about the surprise and then some who are just really annoyed with us. Luca is falling under the annoyed category!"

Duff spoke candidly to People about how she feels about pregnancy, saying, "I’m not one of those women who loves being pregnant by any means, but I appreciate what my body’s doing for me and our family. So any given day, it varies between me missing my body that I get to put really cute clothes on, or feeling at peace that this is probably the last time that I’m going to be pregnant and trying to enjoy how sweet this time can be."
