Lucy Liu is a mom!

The 46-year-old Elementary star surprised fans yesterday when she shared a photo of her new baby boy on Twitter, writing, “Introducing the new little man in my life, my son Rockwell Lloyd Liu. In [love]!”

The adorable black and white shot shows Lucy staring lovingly at newborn Rockwell, who is wrapped in a blanket in her arms. (See the gorgeous pic here!)

A rep for the beautiful actress confirmed the happy news as well, saying, "I can confirm that Lucy Liu is the proud mother of Rockwell Lloyd Liu, brought into the world via gestational carrier. Mom and baby are healthy and happy.”

Lucy - who is reportedly now single, having been most recently linked to hedge fund billionaire Noam Gottesman - revealed in a 2012 interview that she had hopes of becoming a mother one day.

"I love the idea of having a child," she said at the time. "It's probably the most magical thing you can do for yourself. It's a matter of making space for that in your life and your heart. I think there's something wonderful about seeing people grow through their children. Because you have to stop thinking about yourself."

Congratulations to Lucy on her adorable new addition!
