Clearly getting in touch with her maternal instincts, the singer, who releases music under the name Rainsford, shared a photo of herself breastfeeding, and another of her taking care of the little one. She also added a close-up, in color photo of the little one to show off their rosy cheeks and pink-tinged onesie.

While the singer, 35, didn't share her newborn's name, she revealed the little one was born on December 10 at 2:21am. She captioned the photo: "one week in the world."

Rainey first revealed she was pregnant in September, sharing a cheeky photo of herself in front of the Tower of Pisa in Italy, as she showed off her baby bump in a white tank-top playsuit.

She wrote: "This is how babies are made."

Rainey isn't the first of Andie's children to have a baby, as her older brother Justin, 37, has a daughter called Cozette, born in 2022. The Four Weddings and a Funeral actress revealed she had become a first-time grandparent on the Today Show in January 2023, remarking on her first Christmas with the little one.

"I've never had somebody look into me and see my soul like that. It was definitely a soul-to-soul connection," the actress said of the then-newborn, adding she hoped Cozette would call her "Nana" or "Grandma," although the choice would remain her granddaughter's.

It seems that all three of Andie's children are settling down, as her second daughter and youngest child, Margaret Qualley, married esteemed producer Jack Antonoff on August 19, 2023.
