Kerry Washington has given birth to a baby girl - but kept the news a secret for two weeks.

The Scandal star welcomed her first child, Isabella Amarachi, with husband Nnamdi Asomugha, into the world at a hospital in Los Angeles on April 21.

However, gossip websites only revealed the news at the weekend and a source added Washington was already home with the new bub.

While the parents haven't announced the baby publicly and the star's rep said no statement was available, a copy of the birth certificate was obtained by E! News.

Washington, 37, married former NFL player Asomugha in a secret ceremony last July and previously admitted she was thrilled to be expecting their first baby.

"I feel really, really blessed. It just feels like a really good time," Washington said.
