Last night, Matthew Davis and his wife Kiley Casciano welcomed their daughter Ripley Nightingale Davis into the world.
The Vampire Diaries star shared the exciting news with fans on Twitter just an hour after her birth.

He even laughed at himself with this lighthearted joke.
Let’s hope she doesn’t have my Dyslexia 🤪
But the only one who wasn't laughing was his wife Kiley. In an attempt to calm her nerves during labor, Matthew thought it would be a good idea to make her smile, but doing so wasn't as easy as he'd hoped it would be.
