"Our precious little Frida, our true love," Nielsen captioned an Instagram post of her cradling her daughter in a Los Angeles hospital.

Frida’s face is not seen, but she is resting on Nielsen’s chest in a white knitted cap.

“We are overjoyed to welcome our beautiful daughter into our lives,” Nielsen and Dessì said in a statement after Frida’s birth. “It’s been a long road, and so worth it. We’ve never been more in love.”

Nielsen and Dessì, an Italian TV producer, have been married since 2006. Nielsen has four sons from previous relationships.

Six soldiers were honored, each receiving Meritorious Service Medals, Thursday for heroic actions responding to the shooting at Fort Stewart. “One of the things I can say unequivocally is that the fast action of these soldiers — under stress and under trauma and under fire — absolutely saved lives from being lost,” U.S. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll told reporters as the six soldiers stood near him Thursday. “They are everything that is good about this nation.” (Hyosub Shin/AJC)
