"Zooey, Jacob and their daughter Elsie are overjoyed to welcome the newest member of their family," the rep said in a statement.

Sources told People Charlie arrived last week in Los Angeles. Deschanel and Pechenik, a producer known for Rock the Kasbah, married in June 2015, and welcomed daughter Elsie Otter the next month.

"I've never really felt like an adult. But I think it's a huge accomplishment to have a child, so maybe I feel like an adult for that reason," the actress said in the May 2016 issue of Redbook.

"I've slowed things down a bit," she shared. "I think it's good for your whole self -- your creative self, your professional self, and just your soul -- to take a little time for yourself and your family."

Deschanel is known for playing Jess Day on the Fox series New Girl. The show co-stars Jake Johnson, Max Greenfield, Lamorne Morris and Hannah Simone, and completed a sixth season in April.
