"She's gorgeous but yet-to-be-named," a statement from Catherine Olim, a representative for the author, said of the birth, "Mother and daughter are both doing fine and everyone is delighted."

Fielding first burst onto the literary scene in 1996 with the publication of her famed romantic comedy, which was later popularized by a 2001 Renee Zellweger-driven film of the same name.

People magazine said the author and her 49-year-old husband also have a 2-year-old son, Dashiell, together.
