LOS ANGELES, California (Reuters) -- "Desperate Housewives" star Marcia Cross has given birth to twin girls -- the first children for the actress and her stockbroker husband Tom Mahoney, People magazine reported Wednesday.
Publicists for the 44-year-old redhead told the magazine that the twins, named Eden and Savannah, were born at a Los Angeles hospital Tuesday and both mother and babies were doing well.
Cross had been placed on bed rest by her doctors in January for the remainder of her pregnancy, forcing production of the ABC network hit TV show to move to her real-life Los Angeles living room.
Cross plays the perfectionist Bree in "Desperate Housewives" and her expanding waistline had become harder to conceal during the last two episodes planned for her in the current season.
Cross and Mahoney, 49, were married in June 2006.
