Sophie Turner and her American musician husband Joe, welcomed their first child in secret last week Wednesday at a hospital in Los Angeles.
News that Sophie and Joe were expecting their first child together first broke in February, nine months after their Las Vegas wedding.

“There was a very minor character named Willa in Game of Thrones she was a Wildling child. Sophie and Joe Jonas just had their daughter and named her Willa. I’m not saying she’s named after the character but it’s a connection and it makes me happy (sic)” – a Twitter user said.
Apart from Game Of Thrones, the 24-year-old Sophie is also known for playing the young Jean Grey in the X-Men: Apocalypse and Dark Phoenix films.
