Holly Madison welcomes baby girl

Holly Madison gave birth to a baby girl in Las Vegas on Tuesday morning (05.03.13) but hasn't decided on her name yet

The Playboy model turned actress welcomed her first child into the world at 11.59am on Tuesday morning (05.03.13) at a Las Vegas hospital with her fiance Pasquale Rotella by her side.

The former 'Girls Next Door' star is yet to name her daughter, who weighs 7 pounds 2 ounces, but told In Touch magazine: ''''Pasquale and I welcomed our first child, a baby girl!

We haven't yet decided on a name for her but we couldn't be any more overjoyed than at this moment.'' Pasquale, 38, added: ''I've never been more in love than I am today as, after months of waiting, I finally was able to hold my daughter for the first time.

Holly and I are looking forward to spending some quiet time with our baby and enjoying our new family. I'm truly the luckiest man in the world.'' The 33-year-old blonde beauty checked into hospital on Monday night. Holly recently claimed her dogs have helped her prepare for raising a child.

She said: ''I've been critical with myself about the way I'm handling my dogs, and 'am I firm enough with my dogs and strict enough with my dogs and doing the best thing for them?' I think it's definitely a good preparation for a child. You can't compare a pet to a child, obviously, because it's such a huge difference, but we all have friends that we've seen take on a pet they can't handle. ''It definitely is a responsibility, and a hurdle you have to pass before being ready for a kid.''
