Tina Fey gave birth to a character from Greek mythology! Yay! Last Wednesday, Tina Fey gave birth to her second daughter, who she named Penelope Athena. Yes, Tina Fey is totally Greek (she’s actually only half-Greek, I believe). Thoughts on the name? I don’t hate it – but I’ve always liked the name Penelope. Athena is kind of meh, but I doubt anyone will call the little girl Athena. She’s not an Onassis, after all. Penelope joins her five-year-old big sister Alice, who is amazing. Tina is 41 years old – and her husband, Jeff Richmond, is 50.
Tina Fey, already mom to 5-year-old Alice, has introduced a new addition to the family.
The 30 Rock star welcomed a healthy baby girl, Penelope Athena Richmond, on Wednesday with her composer husband Jeffrey Richmond, 50, her rep tells PEOPLE.
The multiple Emmy-winner joked with Ellen DeGeneres during her pregnancy that she and her husband wanted to wait to discover the baby’s gender. “I’m just going to see what it chooses to wear to prom,” Fey said at the time.
The comedian also called her second pregnancy “easy.”
The Bossypants author, 41, first revealed her pregnancy to Oprah Winfrey in April.
She spoke about agonizing over having a second kid – but explained how she and her husband decided it was time to expand their family.
Said Fey at the time: “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.”

Congratulations to the happy family! Not only was this pregnancy “easy” for Tina, it was one of those rare celebrity pregnancies that didn’t feel like it went on for a year and a half (side-eye at January Jones). Plus, Tina looked super-cute while pregnant too.
I’m secretly thrilled that Tina had another girl, by the way. The world needs more hairy, smart, sassy Greek girls.
