Sophia Grace Brownlee’s pretty little flower has made her debut.

Nearly one month after welcoming her daughter Dec. 29, the influencer shared her daughter’s name—and it has a sweet connection to her cousin Rosie McClelland.

In a Jan. 19 Instagram post, Sophia Grace—who rose to fame in 2011 alongside Rosie on The Ellen DeGeneres Show—introduced her baby girl to the world as Athena Rose

In addition to captioning the post with her baby girl’s name, it also served as the backdrop to a pair of adorable photos of Sophia, 21, and Athena with them standing in front of gold balloons that spell her name. Sophia has yet to share her baby girl's face on social media. 

Earlier this month, Sophia—who is also mom to son River, 22 months with her boyfriend who has opted to remain out of the public eye—revealed that her family grew by one as the singer shared the news of her baby girl’s arrival in a Jan. 5 Instagram post which she captioned, “29 | 12 | 24."

“I am so happy you don’t even understand,” Sophia Grace shared in a September YouTube video. “I did personally really want a girl. I know people are like, ‘You shouldn’t have an opinion of what gender you want. You should be happy.’ And of course I'm happy with whatever the baby is, but I already have a boy."

"I just really wanted a girl and I did not think I was gonna get a girl.”
