Jan. 18 (UPI) —<\/span> Iliza Shlesinger is a new mom.<\/p>\n The 38-year-old comedian recently welcomed her first child, daughter Sierra Mae, with her husband, Noah Galuten.\n<\/p>\n<\/article>\n People reported the news Tuesday after Shlesinger gave birth Thursday in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n “We live in Hollywood and she is the first person I’ve been excited to meet,” Shlesinger said. “Mother and baby are doing beautifully. Dad’s back hurts, unrelated to pregnancy.”<\/p>\n Shlesinger said she chose Sierra’s name because she “wanted a unique name evocative of nature.”<\/p>\n “My husband wanted an easy name — our compromise was a unique name with an uncomplicated spelling,” she said.\n<\/p>\n Shlesinger confirmed the birth Tuesday on Instagram Stories.\n<\/p>\n The comedian married Galuten in May 2018 and announced at one of her shows in August that she was expecting her first child.<\/p>\n “Oh my god, I can’t believe this is happening! Recently, I had to move a lot of tickets because of a scheduling conflict,” she told the audience. “I just want to say it’s because we’re working on a very big project. And you’ll be able to see it in January!”\n<\/p>\n Shlesinger came to fame after winning Last Comic Standing<\/i> Season 6 in 2008. She has since released five Netflix standup comedy specials: War Paint<\/i>, Freezing Hot<\/i>, Confirmed Kills<\/i>, Elder Millennial<\/i> and Unveiled<\/i>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
