The TV and big-screen actress received lots of congratulatory messages on Instagram and Twitter. One of Liu's Instagram followers wrote that motherhood just may be her "most rewarding role yet!"

Liu has always had a soft spot for children. She became a UNICEF volunteer in 1994, making the most of the opportunity to help kids across the world. She stated that having two Chinese immigrants, Cecilia and Tom Liu, as parents helped mold her values and desire to be of help to other people, People magazine reported.

Liu joins the list of an ever-growing number of celebrity parents who dote on their kids and share the thrills of parenthood via social media.  Her "Charlie's Angels" co-star Drew Barrymore has kids of her own now, while recently married Angel Cameron Diaz has stated in interviews that she can have a child any time, if she wants it.

Liu's baby was born through gestational surrogacy, a representative of the "Elementary" actress informed Us Weekly.  Liu's posted snaps show that she and her bundle of joy are doing fine. Fans of the actress have expressed their support for the new journey that the actress has embarked on.
