Ellie Kemper Gives Birth to First Child!

We already knew that Ellie Kemper was unbreakable.


Now, we have confirmation that Ellie Kemper is also unbelievably happy…



… because she’s a first-time mother!


The actress, who rose to fame on The Office and then rose to a lot more fame on Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, has welcomed a baby into the world, People Magazine confirms.


It is the first child for Kemper and husband Michael Koman.


Unfortunately, no other details are available at the moment; not the name, gender or any of the measurements.


But that doesn’t mean you can’t be happy for Kemper and it doesn’t mean you can’t send along your very best wishes.


The actress and her husband got married in 2012.


In April, Kemper announced she was expecting during an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.


“[My pregnancy] didn’t really affect filming until the very end,” she told the host, adding:


“We had a table read and I saw that my character was supposed to be on a roller coaster… I was Googling pregnant women on roller coasters.” 


Fallon then went ahead and gave the then-pregnant star a pint of Ben & Jerry’s The Tonight Dough ice cream.



How did Kemper handle the whole roller coaster situation?


“Because it was still so early on, we decided we’ll just tell people that I have a back injury and that’s why I can’t ride the roller coaster,” she explained.


“I could not act like I had a back injury. I kept forgetting I had one so I would do things someone with a back injury can’t do.”


As a result, Kemper said she had to let executive producer Tina Fey in on the baby secret earlier than originally planned.


HA! We love it.


And we love Ellie Kemper. This is such exciting news!

Ellie Kemper: Pregnant with First Child!

The second season of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt hits Netflix this Friday, April 15.


Somehow, though, this release is only the second most exciting piece of news connected to star Ellie Kemper…



… because she’s pregnant with her first child!!!!!!!!!


The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt lead and husband Michael Koman (a writer who previously worked for Conan O’Brien) are expecting to be blessed by a baby at some point this year.


The two dated for a few years before tying the knot in July of 2012 and Kemper made this announcement during a taping today of The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.


It’s unclear at the moment just when Kemper is due, but she was reportedly pregnant while filming Season 2 of her Netflix comedy, so she’s likely into her second trimester by now.


In somewhat related news, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is downright hilarious.


Hurry up and binge watch the first season before this weekend… and then binge watch the second season. You won’t regret it.


We send our very best wishes to Kember and Koman!
