Drea de Matteo, the former Sopranos star and her country-music singing boyfriend Shooter Jennings welcomed, daughter Alabama Gypsy Rose Jennings, Wednesday night. ‘Alabama’ weighed in at eight pounds, three ounces.

In June, even before she knew the gender, De Matteo had a feeling she was having a girl. “I use ’she,’ because I’m getting so fat, I think it’s a girl!” she said at the time.

The 35-year-old Emmy winner and her 28-year-old beau, the son of the late country outlaw icon Waylon Jennings, announced their pregnancy in May. Alabama is the first child for the couple, who have been dating for six years.

De Matteo rose to fame—and won an Emmy—playing the ultimately doomed Adriana La Cerva on The Sopranos. She followed up the dramatic stint by briefly starring as Matt Le Blanc’s sister in the mercifully short-lived Joey. She was recently seen in the independent film, “Broken English.”

Jennings a country/southern rock singer recently released his third album, The Wolf. He has also dabbled in acting, portraying his own father in the 2005 Johnny Cash biopic Walk the Line. Jennings is also set to appear as himself in the Jan. 10 episode of CSI, alongside Jewel, and will play two songs off his new record.
