“You wake up smiling and the light you bring to each moment is truly incredible,” she concluded.
The star was inundated with comments of praise and adoration from her fans who complimented the sweet photo.
Giddish was also commended by her Hollywood pals including icon Brooke Shields who wrote: “I love this baby!!! I need to kiss him.”
Actress Ali Wentworth added: “Congratulations Kelli! What a sweet baby!!!! When can I hold him?”
Her former co-star Betty Buckley commented: “What a doll! Many congratulations, y’all!” As Marvel star Fala Chen shared: “Congratulations.”
Oldie is Giddish’s first child with Beau, whom she married in 2021, she’s also mum to sons Ludo, seven, and Charlie, four, with ex-husband Lawrence Faulborn.
While Variety reported it Giddish’s exit was down to “salary negotiations” with NBC, the actress previously hinted at her character’s return.
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, she teased: She’s still in New York.
“I loved working with everybody that was ever involved with SVU and I know they feel the same about me, so if it works in a storyline or whatever, I don’t think the audience would ever hate to see that.”
