Heather Morris, affectionately known as “Brittany S. Pierce” on the hit TV show ‘Glee’ gave birth to baby boy on Saturday, Sept 28.<\/p>\n

Outside of work, Morris is all grown up and now a new mom!<\/h2>\n

Morris, 26, and her longtime love,\u00a0Taylor Hubbell named the little boy Elijah. This is the couples first child.<\/p>\n

Speaking about Hubbell in a candid interview with\u00a0Fitness<\/em>\u00a0magazine in 2011, the\u00a0Beyonce\u00a0backup dancer turned actress gushed: “I want to marry Taylor and have kids with him. I love acting, but if it affects my relationship, then I won’t continue.”<\/p>\n

The star’s baby news first broke back in April. “It was totally unexpected, but they are incredibly happy and excited,” a source told\u00a0Us Weekly<\/a>\u00a0at the time.<\/p>\n

Morris is not returning to ‘Glee’ for their fifth season that kicked off last week.<\/p>\n
