Elizabeth Banks & Husband Welcome Son Felix, Born via Surrogate

Letting the world in on a well-kept secret, Elizabeth Banks revealed that she is a mom!

Taking to her blog on Wednesday (March 30), the "30 Rock" babe explained, "I have been very fortunate in life both professionally and personally. I have had untold number of opportunities to work with inspiring people, on great projects as an actress, and I have had a fantastic long term relationship of nearly 20 years with my now husband, Max [Handelman]."
"The one true hurdle I've faced in life is that I have a broken belly," she continued. "After years of trying to get pregnant, exploring the range of fertility treatments, all unsuccessful, our journey led us to gestational surrogacy: we make a 'baby cake' and bake it in another woman's 'oven.'"

"From that came two miracles. The first was meeting our carrier and her husband who were truly humbling in their decency and generosity. And the second miracle was the birth of our baby boy, Felix Handelman. Felix means 'happy and 'lucky' in Latin. And true to his name, Felix is a very happy baby and a blessing on our life," Elizabeth said.

In closing, the blonde funnywoman added, "Thanks to all our friends, family, and fans for your support. If you need me, I'll be changing dirty diapers and trying to get some sleep."

Banks also posted a message to her Twitter account, writing, "What's greater than overjoyed? Megajoyed? Add humility, love, awe. Sprinkle w cute. Result: my new life as a mom. It's a boy!"

In a case of life imitating art, Elizabeth's character on the hit NBC sitcom recently gave birth to a baby girl.
