Looks like Mahershala Ali has been having quite a great year so far. The actor who recently won an Oscar is now a father too.
The 43-year-old Moonlight star recently shared a picture of his adorable baby daughter Bari Najma Ali on Instagram one month on!
He added the caption “Bari x Abu” along with a purple heart motif. The black and white image Mahershala holding tiny Bari on his lap as they bond together at home reported Elle magazine.
Fans were naturally delighted and congratulated Mahershala and his wife Amatus Sami-Karim on the arrival of their little girl.
The couple welcomed Bari just four days before the Academy Awards. As part of his victory speech, Mahershala thanked Amatus, who was at home with their newborn, saying, “I want to thank my wife, who was in her third trimester during the awards season. We just had a daughter four days ago.”
And speaking about fatherhood earlier on the red carpet, he revealed, “I’m a special kind of tired right now. It’s amazing, though. I’m very grateful. She was born on the 22nd and now we are here. She was running late and was supposed to be here the 13th so we started getting concerned but she is here and healthy.”
