Just four days ago, the "Beauty Shop" star and husband, Brad James, revealed on Instagram: "It's a BOY!!" In the excellent action shot, her daughter Ella Hartwell helps her shoot blue smoke in the air, while James did the same in the opposite direction to the joy of the onlooking crowd.

Pulliam had Ella Grace Hartwell on January 23, 2017, deriving her daughter's middle name from having gone through a difficult time with "the grace of God." Her first husband, Ed Hartwell, filed for divorce days after they announced the pregnancy in mid-2016.

Excited big sister Ella could finally tell everyone...

Just like her mommy, Ella is a horse girl and practices meditation. She enrolled in official riding lessons in the summer of 2022, to the delight of the "New Orleans Noel" actress, writing on social media that she's happy to gain a "little riding partner."

"I love you eternally and gift you with my tribe and family, who will protect and support you and our family by any means necessary."
