Adorable celebrity couple Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma were blessed by the birth of a baby girl today afternoon. Virat announced the news couple hours ago on his social media handle thanking fans for their well wishes and requested a little privacy at the moment.

Virat shared a picture that read, "We are thrilled to share with you that we have been blessed with a baby girl this afternoon. We thank you all for your love, prayers and good wishes. Anushka and the baby are both healthy and we are feeling beyond blessed to start this new chapter of our lives. We hope that you can respect our privacy at this time. Love, Virat."

The couple announced last year in August that they are expecting their first child in January. Anushka Sharma didn't let pregnancy keep her away from work and continued photoshoots and interviews.
