Kerry Washington’s Baby Girl Has Made Her ‘More Awesome,’ According To Scandal Co-Star

There was never any doubt that "Scandal" star Kerry Washington would have motherhood "handled." The new mom and husband Nnamdi Asomugha, a former NFL player, have even managed do what seems nearly impossible in Hollywood these days: keep their family life private. 

But at Saturday night's Creative Arts Emmy's, the actress's co-stars couldn't help but gush over Washington's baby girl, Isabelle Amarachi. The actors even opened up about how the mom is taking to her new role.

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

Goldwyn has spent the past three seasons of "Scandal" playing President Fitzgerald Grant, the on-and-off again love interest of Washington's "fixer" heroine Olivia Pope. When he was asked by E! News about how motherhood has affected Washington, Goldwyn had nothing but kind words.

"[It's] just made her more awesome than she was to begin with," he beamed. "She's just so happy all the time. As it does when you have a baby... It's magic. It's a magical time."

Bellamy Young, who plays First Lady Mellie Grant on the ABC show, agreed with Goldwyn when it came to baby Washington.

"That baby is like the Buddha. You hold that baby and it calms you down," said the actress. "There is nothing annoying about that presence."

Even President Obama is a fan of little Isabelle.

People Magazine reported that the President publicly admired the child at a fundraiser for the Democratic National Committee in July.

"[Kerry] showed me her baby pictures," stated President Obama, "and that is one cute baby!"

Washington and Asomugha welcomed baby Isabelle on April 21, 2014. The parents famously kept news of their daughter's arrival from the media for eleven days. The pair also married in secret on June 24, 2013.   

Washington and Asomugha have yet to release any photographs of their daughter to the public.
