She looks every inch the glowing new mother as she cradles her baby in her arms.
Scots actress Karen Gillan last night shared the first glimpse of her baby daughter Clementine with her legion of followers on social media.
The Jumanji star, 37 and her husband Nick Kocher, 38, took to Instagram to share a sequence of images of themselves at home with the new baby.
The Inverness-born actress is seen cuddling Clementine, whilst Mr Kocher is pictured cradling his tiny daughter.
A third image shows the couple sitting together and Mr Kocher holding a ‘Best Dad Ever’ mug.
Ms Gillan announced her pregnancy at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2024. She debuted her baby bump on the red carpet while promoting her film The Life of Chuck.
Recently, she was spotted in Los Angeles taking her newborn for a walk in a grey pushchair, although the name and gender were not revealed at the time.
In 2018, Ms Gillan revealed her desire to eventually have children.
Appearing on Michael Rosenbaum’s Inside of You podcast, she said: ‘I definitely want them, it’s going to be hilarious. I think I would be a good mum. I feel like I would definitely be good at playing with the kids, like being one of them.’

Ms Gillan, regarded as one of Scotland’s biggest Hollywood stars, boasts an Instagram following of 7.7 million and was named the third-highest grossing star at the box office in 2019 behind Dwayne Johnson and Samuel L Jackson.
She relocated to California in 2013, where she currently lives with her husband, however, has spoken publicly about how she still considers Inverness as home and hopes to return later in life.
Speaking on the Radio Times Podcast in June, Ms Gillan said: ‘I’m homesick every single day of my life.
‘I think there’s a possibility that I’ll come back at some point. I’ve made my house very Scottish-looking; it doesn’t feel like I’m in LA at all. It reminds me of a granny’s home in Scotland – which is what I am in my soul.’
Ms Gillan and Mr Kocher married in May 2022 at Castle Toward on the Cowal Peninsula. She met Mr Kocher through her ‘recommended friends list on Instagram’.
