Tila Tequila, the model and onetime MTV reality star, has welcomed her first child, a daughter named Isabella Monroe Nguyen.

Tila Tequila’s Baby Girl

Tequila, 33, gave birth to her baby girl, who weighed 7 pounds, 2 ounces, on Sunday night at 7:05 p.m. “I am so in love with her,” Tequila told Us Weekly. “She’s so perfect and beautiful.”

Back in April, Tequila announced her pregnancy, though declined to identify who the child’s father is. The Shot at Love star, who has had a rocky couple of years, stated at the time of her pregnancy announcement that her baby saved her.

“I truly feel that my baby has saved my life, and I will do whatever it takes to give my little baby the whole entire world!” she told Us at the time. “I know I’m going to cry so much when the baby is finally born later this year.”

She added, “I just want my baby to be proud of me and to know how much I love him or her. To love someone else unconditionally is one of the best feelings in the entire world, and I hope I will have plenty more pregnancies to come.”

Tequila revealed that she’d be having a girl – and not a boy as she initially said she hoped – in July. “For a long time I thought I wanted a baby boy, but that’s because most of my family members wanted me to have a boy,” she wrote on her blog. “However, deep, deep down inside of my heart I knew that I wanted a baby girl! I wanted a little mini-me so that when she grows up I could do everything with her and be able to talk to her about anything!”

“I want my baby girl to grow up a very strong, and independent woman just like I am, and you know what? I know that she will!” she continued on her blog. “My daughter will grow up to be a leader and stand up for all of the people who cannot stand up for themselves. My daughter will be beautiful just like her mama, but at the same time I will raise her to be a humble and loving person who respect herself and others.”
