Tina Fey gives birth to second daughter

By Alexandra Heilbron on August 15, 2011 | 1 Comment


30 Rock star Tina Fey, 41, gave birth to a girl, Penelope Athena Richmond, last Wednesday. This is the second daughter for Fey and her husband, Jeffrey Richmond. They also have a five-year-old daughter, Alice. Tina detailed in her recent autobiography, Bossypants, her struggle to decide whether to have another child, writing that she was “stricken with guilt and panic” when Alice told her, “I wish I had a baby sister.” During an appearance on Oprah last April, Fey revealed she was pregnant, saying, “My husband and I really decided that we felt rather than risk having 30 Rock end in several years and feeling like part of our family is missing that we were going to prioritize our family.”

    Tina Fey is the funniest woman on the planet. It’s funny how she writes on 30 rock about disliking sex or she is awkward at it or her toe fungus issue thing..she is so self-depricating it’s hilarious. She is pretty and he is, well maybe rich and well endowed is the reason for marriage? Wow.
    Anyway, congrats on a 2nd child. Good for them.
