Jennifer Love Hewitt in no rush to lose pregnancy weight

Jennifer Love Hewitt is in no rush to lose the extra pounds she gained during pregnancy, insisting she won't worry about getting back in shape for months.

The former Party of Five star gave birth to her first child - a daughter called Autumn - by her husband Brian Hallisay on Tuesday (26Nov13).

Prior to the arrival, she told Life & Style magazine her main focus will be on her newborn, not getting back the body she had pre-pregnancy.

She explained, "They say wait six to eight weeks after having the baby - and then worry about it! It'll happen when it's supposed to happen."

Confirming the news of their daughter's birth, the actress' publicist also let it slip the couple is now married.

Hewitt and Hallisay began dating in 2012 when they reconnected on the set of the now-cancelled TV drama The Client List. They previously appeared together on the short-lived NBC series Love Bites.

The actress announced she was pregnant in June (13), a day before revealing her engagement to Hallisay.
