The Sydney Morning Herald<\/a><\/i> reports that Keisha Castle-Hughes gave birth to a daughter, Felicity-Amore, last Wednesday.<\/span><\/p>\n

You may recall that Castle-Hughes became pregnant<\/a> last year at the age of 16, shortly after she finished playing the Virgin Mary in The Nativity Story<\/a><\/i> \u2014 but before the film was released in theatres. Some journalists<\/a> evidently hoped that this would cause a great religious controversy, but it never happened. Castle-Hughes did, however, face a strong backlash in her native New Zealand.<\/p>\n

Shortly before she gave birth, Castle-Hughes gave an interview on New Zealand TV \u2014 her first formal interview in two years, reportedly<\/a> \u2014 and as far as I can tell, her only comment<\/a> on The Nativity Story<\/i> and its proximity to her pregnancy was:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was weird because I\u2019d been playing this pregnant woman for three months.\u201d<\/p>\n

She wondered at times if she was imagining the pregnancy because she got so caught up in the role.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As one who is still getting used to parenting myself, 15 months into the game, I wish Castle-Hughes and her boyfriend all the best!<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
