The extremely bashert couple “Brooklyn 99” star Chelsea Peretti and “Get Out” creator Jordan Peele have welcomed their first child. The bravely-named Beaumont Gino Peele was born July 1st, but the couple, who eloped last year with only a dog for a witness, announced the birth today. With a comedy pedigree that includes half of the comedy-duo “Key and Peele” and a Jewish mother who has been involved with more or less every funny TV show in the last decade, Beaumont Gino will no doubt be a gift to this world. In fact, the Peele-Peretti baby started getting laughs while he was still in utero.

Behold: Chelsea Peretti used Twitter to elevate pregnancy problems into art. Mothers really are magic.
