Details about the baby's birth, including the sex of the infant, have yet to be released. Kemper's rep was unable to comment.

The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt star and Koman have been together since 2009 and married in New York in 2012. The actress announced her pregnancy on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon in April.

"I was [pregnant] during [Unbreakable]," she revealed. "It didn't really effect filming until the very end. We had a table read and I saw that my character was supposed to be on a roller coaster."

"It was still very on, but I felt like a pregnant lady on a roller coaster is not ideal," the star said. "So had to tell my boss, Tina Fey."

Kemper plays the title character on Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, which was renewed for a third season in January. She is also known for portraying Erin Hannon on The Office.
