Bridget Jones creator Helen Fielding clearly adores late motherhood - as these first pictures of the writer with her new baby prove.
The former singleton, who is 48, was transfixed as she took her four-month-old daughter shopping in Beverly Hills.
Notoriously publicity-shy, she still refuses to reveal the name of her second child with partner Kevin Curran.
An onlooker who saw her stop for a coffee in Rodeo Drive said: "Helen is clearly captivated by her baby. She was on her own and the little girl was in a buggy beside her, but she kept taking her out to hug and kiss her.
"Even when she walked down the street, Helen's eyes were constantly on her child. She was cooing and smiling at her."
A friend of the former London journalist, said to be worth £17million, said: "She is thrilled to be a mother of two."
Helen and Kevin, a writer for The Simpsons, also have a son, Dashiell, two. They divide their time between a £3.4million Hollywood home and a house in Notting Hill, West London.
