Introducing the new little man in my life, my son Rockwell Lloyd Liu. In ❤️!

I have become a late-in-life Lucy Liu stan, mostly because I enjoy her so much on Elementary and I think both she and Jonny Lee Miller are doing criminally underrated work on that show. I also have a newfound respect for Lucy because she really keeps her personal life wrapped up. The last time I heard anything about her private life, it was a report last year that she had been quietly dating billionaire hedge-funder Noam Gottesman for FOUR YEARS with barely a blip on any gossip radars. Anyway, I don’t know if Lucy is still with Noam or if he (or any other man) was involved in any way with Lucy’s new role in life. You see, Lucy is a mom now!

Lucy announced the birth of her baby boy, Rockwell Lloyd Liu, on her social media yesterday. Rockwell was born via gestational carrier and Lucy’s rep told People: “Mom and baby are healthy and happy.” Lucy is 46 years old, so I would assume (although she has not said anything about it) that her age played a big factor in choosing to have a baby via gestational carrier. Congrats to Lucy and little Rockwell!

Sidenote: Elementary Season 4 will premiere on Thursday, November 5th. I cannot believe we have to wait until November to find out the resolution to Season 3’s cliffhanger. And here’s one for the Elementary stans: John Noble will be playing Sherlock’s equally eccentric father. OMG.
