"She's already got a nickname — Belle," Martinez reveals to People of his bundle of joy who weighed in at 7 lbs., 13 oz. "She has a couple of cute little freckles on her cheeks, a full head of hair and the cutest little lips… It's just amazing to see her, finally. She's beautiful."

The two officially became a pair last year after knowing each other since 2008. At the time they first met, Diana worked as an assistant to an executive producer for All My Children while J.R. was starring in the ABC soap as Brot Monroe.
