EXCLUSIVE What a gorgeous Lily baby! Emily in Paris star surprises cast members with her new daughter as the four-month-old is centre of attention during filming of hit Netflix series in Rome
It is just four months since Lily Collins announced the birth of her first child, describing her daughter as 'the centre of our world'. And, true to her word, the actress made sure Tove was the centre of attention as she returned to work on the set of the new series of Emily In Paris. These exclusive pictures show the 36-year-old – dressed in a floral blue and white trouser suit for her role as American marketing executive Emily Cooper – beaming as she cradled her daughter between takes. The baby drew admiring glances from the cast and crew of the hit Netflix show, including Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu, who plays Emily's boss Sylvie. Looking on – and ready to step up for parent duties – was Lily's husband Charlie McDowell, 41, a film director and the son of A Clockwork Orange actor Malcolm, who kept a muslin cloth draped over one shoulder, just in case. Despite the show's title, the latest series is being filmed in Rome as Emily carves out a new life in the Italian city with her boyfriend Marcello, played by Eugenio Franceschini. Lily and McDowell welcomed their daughter, who was born by surrogate, in January. In an Instagram post to her 29 million followers, Lily wrote at the time: 'Welcome to the center [sic] of our world Tove Jane McDowell. Words will never express our endless gratitude for our incredible surrogate and everyone who helped us along the way. We love you to the moon and back again…' The actress has previously opened up about her desire to have a family – and revealed that dream had helped her overcome an eating disorder. In the Instagram post, Collins also thanked her surrogate, declaring: 'Words will never express our endless gratitude for our incredible surrogate and everyone who helped us along the way. We love you to the moon and back again…' The new series of 'Emily in Paris' is set to premiere in 2025, but an official release date has not yet been announced The fourth series of the show concluded on a cliffhanger as Gabriel arrived in the ancient city, but Emily had finally ditched her phone to enjoy a day out with new love Marcello Emily and her husband Charlie McDowell (pictured) tied the knot on September 4th, 2021 Speaking about the upcoming series, Lucas Bravo, who play's Emily's ex-boyfriend Gabriel said: 'I think Gabriel realized that he doesn't want to let Emily go so easily, and he might have made a big mistake' Collins and McDowell first started making public appearances together in early 2020 But the couple faced criticism on social media for using a surrogate, with some claiming they were 'buyers' not parents, and others likening surrogacy to 'human trafficking'. It prompted McDowell to hit back at the 'unkind' messages, saying: 'It's OK to not know why someone might need a surrogate to have a child. 'It's OK to not know the motivations of a surrogate regardless of what you assume.'
