Glee's resident beloved bird brain Britney AKA Heather Morris has given birth to a baby boy.

The former Glee star, who played cheerleader Brittany S. Pierce in the popular musical TV series up until last season, welcomed her son, Elijah, into the world on Saturday  with her long-term boyfriend Taylor Hubbell by her side. According to UsMagazine.com: 'She is really excited to be a mom. She is just amazed by the whole experience.'

The couple met in high school and although Heather's pregnancy was unexpected, they were both previously said to be very 'excited' to be expecting their first child together. Heather, who was previously a backing dancer for Beyonce, has previously gushed amount how much she wanted to start a family with her boyfriend and said she was willing to give up acting to focus on her dream.

She said: 'I want to marry Taylor and have kids with him. I love acting, but if it affects my relationship, then I won't continue.' While they haven't mentioned tying the knot, a close pal of the parents-to-be predicts they will walk down the aisle sooner rather than later. They said: 'I see it in their future.'
