It’s been a big week for The Big Bang Theory cast. First Kaley Cuoco got engaged to partner Karl Cook, and now Melissa Rauch has given birth to a baby girl!

The actress, who plays Bernadette, took to Instagram to share the exciting news – and the name.

She wrote: “I am beyond over the moon to share that our beautiful baby girl, Sadie Rauch, has arrived and our hearts are bursting at the seams with love for her. I will never take for granted the difficult road it took to get here. To those on that road: I’m sending you so much love today and always.”

It’s like life imitating art – Bernadette is a new mum on the comedy series, just like 37-year-old Melissa.

Sadie is Melissa and husband Winston’s first child. In July, the actress revealed that she had a miscarriage during her last pregnancy.

Melissa plays loveable Bernadette.

“The miscarriage I experienced was one of the most profound sorrows I have ever felt in my life,” she wrote for Glamour.

“It kick-started a primal depression that lingered in me. The image of our baby on the ultrasound monitor—without movement, without a heartbeat—after we had seen that same little heart healthy and flickering just two weeks prior completely blindsided us and haunts me to this day.

Wishing the Rauch family health and happiness with their new baby girl.
