Leonor Varela‘s days as villainous vixen may be over, but her role in motherhood has only just begun.

The former Dallas actress, 39, and producer Lucas Akoskin have welcomed their first child together, the new mom announced on Twitter Tuesday.

“Matteo V. Akoskin is finally in our arms!” Varela writes, keeping any further details under wraps.

Confirming the pregnancy in July, Varela and Akoskin were elated to be starting a family together. “The couple are over the moon,” her rep told PEOPLE at the time.
