‘Scandal’ Kerry Washington Baby Girl Is ‘The Cutest,’ Season 4 Cast Gushes; Has Motherhood Changed The Olivia Pope Actress?

"Scandal" actress Kerry Washington gave birth to baby girl Isabelle Amarachi Asomugha on April 21, but few have been blessed with a glimpse of Kerry's daughter. Now "Scandal" season 4 stars Tony Goldwyn and Bellamy Young revealed they have met Kerry Washington's baby girl and she's "the cutest!"

"Yes I have met the delectable Isabelle," Goldwyn told E! News at the 2014 Creative Arts Emmys. "Her DNA is really good and she's just the cutest."

According to the publication, Young agreed and even compared the baby girl to Buddha.

"You hold that baby and it calms you down," she told E! News. "There is nothing annoying about that presence."

But has motherhood changed Kerry Washington?

Her "Scandal" co-star says yes - but for the better!

"[Motherhood] has just made her more awesome than she was to begin with," Goldwyn said. "She's just so happy all the time as it does when you have a baby. It's a magical time."

As we previously reported, Kerry Washington revealed to The Hollywood Reporter that her scenes as Olivia Pope in "Scandal" season 3 were difficult during her pregnancy.

"All of last season was a challenge for me, on a few levels," Washington, 37, told the magazine. "For one thing, I was going through this amazing physical transition, this physical journey of having a baby, that my character was not going through. And I work very physically. What I do is often grounded in the body."

Towards the end of season 3, the "Scandal" producers had to get very creative to hide Kerry's large baby bump - though Washington was pregnant, her character Olivia Pope wasn't!

"That meant I had to figure out how to be this woman while my instrument was changing and evolving every day," Kerry continued about her pregnant body. "It was like seeing the keys on a piano jump around on a daily basis. It was tough for me to even maintain Olivia's walk because of the changes.

"At the same time, everything I understood about Olivia unraveled because of the shorelines," she added.

"The season really broke me. I'm a Type A actor who likes to have it all figured out going in, but suddenly I had no idea where this woman was going to go next. I had to jump in without everything being perfect. I felt like I had been in control playing the character, but it all got taken away from me last season. That meant my acting toolbox had to be upgraded. I had to trade in my screwdriver and hammer for a Black and Decker power tool."

The "Scandal" season 4 star is married to former NFL player, Nnamdi Asomugha.

"Scandal" season 4 premieres on Thursday, Sept. 25 at 9 p.m. on ABC.
