AceShowbiz - Former "30 Rock" star Keith Powell has become a father to a baby girl, a year after the tragic loss of his first child.
The actor's wife, Jill Knox, gave birth to little Dolyn Reed Powell on Saturday, March 09, after the couple endured years of heartache as they tried to start a family and suffered the death of a son they planned to name Greyson, whose heart stopped beating days before his due date.
"After 5 years of trying, and the loss of our dear sweet stillborn Greyson last year, my wife and I are proud and happy to announce the birth of our daughter, Dolyn Reed Powell," Keith posted on social media, explaining that her first name is short for Gwendolyn, the name of his grandmother.

However, the tot's arrival wasn't without drama - Jill had to undergo an emergency Caesarean section after experiencing complications.
"Her entrance into the world was rather scary but we made it and we are thriving...," the new mum shared on her own page. "I know emergency C-Sections happen everyday but after what happened last year we couldn't help but be absolutely terrified."
She added, "But now she's here. We couldn't be happier and we can't wait to get her home. Thank you all, once again, for surrounding Dolyn with love."
The couple wed in 2013.
