Star Trek actress Jeri Ryan and her husband, French chef Christophe Emé, welcomed a baby girl Sunday.

Jeri Ryan, well known for playing Seven of Nine on sci-fi series “Star Trek: Voyager,” gave birth to daughter Gisele in Los Angeles, her publicist David Lust told People magazine. The baby, weighing 7 pounds, 13 ounces, is the couple’s first.

Ryan, 40, and Emé, 38, married in France last June and own Los Angeles restaurant Ortolan, which Eme heads. Ryan has a 13-year-old son, Alex, from her previous marriage. She has called the boy her greatest achievement.

“Both parents are thrilled. Jeri is resting comfortably and Christophe is playing the part of proud new papa quite well,” Lust said.

While Ryan gained fame as ex-Borg character Seven of Nine on “Star Trek: Voyager,” which ended in 2001, she has maintained a successful career with roles in “Boston Legal” and “Boston Public.” She currently stars on the CBS drama “Shark.”

Life is probably very similar to a fairytale for Ryan. She and Emé wed last June in the Loire Valley, at a 15th-century château. They had met some four years before, at a charity event.

“I've always had a thing for chefs and I've always had a thing for the French,” Ryan told People magazine around the time of her wedding ceremony, “but I just thought we would go out a few times.”

Well, a couple of dates turned into full-blown romance turned into magical nuptials turned into extended family. Who would have guessed, when Ryan herself did not foresee the events to come?
