“August 27th our baby boy Valor James Ruspoli was born. Our hearts are so full,” the caption began.

“Thank you for all the messages. Just been taking this time to slow down and soak in this moment.”

The child is the fourth for Wood and her husband Elan Ruspoli.

They share three other sons: Rise, Lenix, and Brando.

Woods, an Emmy Award winner, announced her pregnancy in April.

News of the child’s arrival comes as it was reported that Woods’ character was preparing for a written-in absence, according to SheKnows Soaps.

Her character’s last appearance was reportedly in Thursday’s episode.

It is unclear how long her maternity leave from the soap opera might last.

Fans were quick to comment on Woods’ post wishing her and her new addition well.

“Enjoy your new bundle of love … I couldn’t be happier for you my friend. Hugs to the whole family,” one person wrote.

“So happy for you ALL !! (I wondered where you were..),” another commented.

“Lots of love and admiration momma!” someone else chimed in.

“Congratulations and welcome Valor,” another said.
