Susan proudly shared the news about the arrival of her grandchild on Twitter, writing: "My warrior daughter @TheHappilyEva gave the world a perfect new soul yesterday. Welcome sweet Major James Martino. Grateful, beyond happy."

Fans of the 70-year-old actress were quick to offer their congratulations, with one writing: "He's beautiful, I'm so happy for everyone and grateful that everyone's healthy. Congratulations," while another added: "Many congratulations!! SO nice to come across GOOD news for a change! How wonderful! Hope you get some sleep soon!"

Eva shared a beautiful snap of the baby boy dressed in a blue and white striped baby grow on her Instagram account: writing: "Major James. One Day Old. Working on his birth story! Stay tuned... #HappilyEvaAfter #BabyBoyMartino #MajorJamesMartino #FamilyOfFour."

The New Girl actress had been updating her fans on her pregnancy journey on her blog, and revealed how she was looking forward to meeting her baby son in her latest post, which was shared just nine days before she gave birth.

"I'm so grateful that we got our perfect Fall Day in as a family of three," she revealed. "Now the only thing that’s truly missing for us is our sweet baby boy. We're waiting on you, Little Guy!"
