Yay! Christina Applegate has given birth to a baby girl, and mother and child are both healthy. Christina and her fiancé Martyn LeNoble named their daughter Sadie Grace LeNoble… thoughts on the name? Thoughts on naming your baby after a Beatles song? Eh, there are worst things. And “Sadie” is much better than “Prudence” or “Eleanor Rigby”.
It’s a girl for Christina Applegate! The Going the Distance actress and her fiancé, rocker Martyn LeNoble, welcomed Sadie Grace LeNoble on Thurs. Jan. 27. Proud papa LeNoble posted the news on his Facebook page late Monday. He added that Sadie Grace weighed in at 7 lbs., 8 oz.
A first-time mom, Applegate, 39, confirmed her pregnancy in September. The Emmy-nominated star’s baby joy comes two years after she overcame a bout with breast cancer, following a double mastectomy.
Applegate has credited her baby’s dad, a founding member of 90s alternative rock band Porno for Pyros, with helping keep her spirits high during her cancer battle.
“I have a small but mighty support system and Martyn has really been an incredible part of my life,” Applegate previously told Us. “Without him, I don’t know if I could’ve gone through any of it. He came around at a time when there was a lot of loss in my life on many levels, so he’s been a really incredible help.”
The new mom — who got engaged to LeNoble on Valentine’s Day last year — tells Us she’d welcome the idea of having more kids.
When asked what’s on her bucket list, she told Us last year: “Babies, lots of babies. Not lots of babies, but a couple.”

Congratulations to Christina and her happy family! I’m so pleased that everybody is healthy and happy. Now, can someone tell me… who does this Martyn guy remind me of? He looks so familiar, like some actor that I can’t quite place. Does anyone else think he looks a bit like Til Schweiger?

I don’t know who he looks like, but that is one ugly looking tattoo on his hand.
IDK. I get Sting. An orange-y version of Sting. http://www.live4ever.uk.com/2009/12/sting-the-music-industry-is-in-a-crises/
He looks like a very thin Val Kilmer.
I <3 the name. Congrats!
I like the name Sadie too– very delicate– soft and relaxed. Makes m think of an easy going character who is warm and full of love. 🙂 That and Estella are lovely girl’s names.
Uh No – Till much much better !
After all she went through with cancer I am so happy for her having a healthy, beautiful little baby.
congrats to the happy couple on the healthy arrival of their daughter. love love love the name Sadie Grace [as Sadie is a deminutive form of Sarah and one of my all time favorite actresses is Grace Kelly}. may she bring them abundant joy and love
Yay! I love her, (& the baby’s name!) and wish them all the happiness in the world!
It’s far too early in the morning for the amount of brain power I put into figuring out who I thought he looked like so do me a favor and agree with me (please. really):
Neal McDonough

Congrats to her and her new daughter.
congrats!
i like the name– know a very sweet sadie!
omigosh, that was exactly what i was gonna name my son if he had been a girl!
Good for her. She wanted this for a long time. She’ll be a great mom.
Good for her, she looked adorable pregnant and I’m sure the baby is beautiful.
If Vincent Cassel and Til Schweiger had a baby I think it would be that guy
Happy for her- she seems like a really nice person who went through a lot (didn’t her ex-fiance also die in the last few years? I seem to remember that she was dealing with that and the cancer).
He sorta looks like a skinnier Neil McDonough. No?
Either way, so so happy for both of them. She deserves a healthy and happy life after everything she’s been through. Best wishes.
Martyn looks very similiar to actor Jon Voight.
ctkat1 – plus in the midst of all that, the writers strike and following schedule shuffle ended up getting her show canceled. It was a lot of bad stuff at once for her.
I’m very happy for her and her family, glad everyone’s healthy, and the name is really cute.
He does sort of look like a cross between Neal McD & Sting.
she looks great – nice to see she’s fully recovery from her cancer and is moving forward.
Happy for her. Every time I hear the name sadie it makes me think of Charles Manson.
The evil husband of Evie on Desperate Housewives. He was avenging his dead wife or something and kidnapped Susan.
YAY, congrats to them. All the best 😀
Sweet.
Congratulations to the happy family! And I think he resembles a young David Bowie.
Congrats to her, and love the baby name.
I love Christina. She will forever be Kelly Bundy :). Congrats on her baby. Hope she’s really happy with the hubby, because he looks totally creepy…
Awww… so happy for her.
She so deserves this beautiful little baby.
Love her.
Congrats! She is a nice, down to earth celeb (a true rarity) who had a bad cancer scare and deserves all the happiness her new baby girl will bring. Sadie Grace is a cute name.
She’s a Survivor, she deserves such happiness.
That’s such a cute name, I’m so happy for her after all she’s been through.
Fab news! Her acting history isn’t great but she deserves her celebrity after what she went through. What a woman.
There are a lot of actors popping out those babies, but I look at her and think she really meant it, and wish her all the best.
What hell is this about.
