Former Atlanta radio host and current ESPN "SportsCenter" anchor Elle Duncan had her first child Wednesday.
Her daughter Eva came in at six pounds and 10 ounces and 19 inches.

It was not easy. Labor lasted 32 hours!

Duncan started her career in Atlanta at 790/The Zone, then V-103. After a brief time at 11Alive, she moved from Atlanta to Boston in 2013 for the New England Sports Network, then to ESPN in Connecticut in 2016.

That same year, she married Omar Abdul Ali.
