It’s a GIRL! General Hospital star Sofia Mattsson has just revealed her second child, a beautiful baby girl born on May 21, 2023. Fans were left in awe as Sofia shared the first photo of her daughter—one month after her birth. But what makes this reveal even more incredible is the fascinating behind-the-scenes story of how she kept her pregnancy completely under wraps while filming.
Sofia, who plays the beloved character Sasha Gilmore, welcomed her first child, a son, in July 2021. Now, two years later, her family has grown by one more. What’s even more jaw-dropping? Fans had NO IDEA she was pregnant during recent General Hospital episodes. The production team worked tirelessly to hide her baby bump, using wardrobe tricks and clever camera angles to keep the pregnancy a secret. While Sasha’s character wasn’t pregnant on-screen, the team made sure the illusion was flawlessly maintained.
Those boho blouses? The mid-frame shots? It wasn’t just a styling choice—it was all part of a well-thought-out plan to respect Sofia’s privacy while maintaining her on-screen performance.
For fans who remember Sasha’s devastating loss of her child on GH, seeing Sofia’s real-life joy is even more moving. Sofia delivered one of the most raw and emotional performances in daytime television history, and now, she’s sharing the light at the end of the tunnel with us.
On June 5, 2024, Sofia took to Instagram to share a heartfelt photo cradling her newborn daughter with the caption: “Couldn’t ask for a better birthday than spending it with my girl who’s a little over one month today! Born 5-21-23 💖.” Fans flooded social media with love for the actress and her growing family, with many reflecting on the 12 years since Sasha first appeared on General Hospital.
This real-life milestone brings a burst of happiness, especially after witnessing Sasha’s heartbreaking journey. Could Sofia’s motherhood story inspire future plotlines for Sasha? Will we see more maternal moments from Sasha, or might Sofia take some time off to fully embrace family life?
One thing is for sure: Sofia’s journey from on-screen tragedy to real-life joy is nothing short of inspiring. And with this personal reveal, fans are more excited than ever to see what’s next for both Sofia and Sasha!
