Darren Criss and Mia Swier are parents! The couple welcomed their first child, a baby girl, on April 11 and chose a one-of-a-kind name [2] for her: Bluesy Belle Criss. Seeing as both stars are musically inclined — Criss rose to fame as Dalton Academy Warblers lead singer Blaine Anderson on "Glee," [3] while Swier started an all-women Guns N' Roses tribute band [4], plays the bass, and sings — the name is quite fitting.

Criss announced the news on April 14 by sharing an Instagram photo of him and Swier cradling Bluesy in a hospital bed, writing, "M & D made some sweet music." Tons of celebrities commented their well-wishes on the post, including fellow "Glee" star Heather Morris, who wrote, "Congrats beautiful family," with a heart-eye emoji. Criss's caption is a callback to the way he revealed their pregnancy back in October 2021; the actor shared a video [5] of him and Swier sitting in front of a laptop playing the audio of their baby's heartbeat. "We've been making music for years … But this time we made a BEAT.⁣ The ultimate collab droppin Spring 2022," he wrote.

Criss and Swier first met through mutual friends [6] back in 2006, but they didn't start dating until 2010 — likely a result of Swier producing and directing promotional content for "Glee" around that time — meaning they've been together for more than a decade. The lovebirds mostly kept their relationship under wraps until 2013 and tied the knot [7] in New Orleans in February 2019. Criss and Swier have shared plenty of adorable red carpet moments [8] through the years, and we can't wait to follow along on their journey as parents.
