AceShowbiz - Abby Elliott was brimming with joy. When sharing the happy news about the birth of her second child with husband Bill Kennedy, the former series regular on "Saturday Night Live" gushed that her heart was "bursting."
On Monday, June 12, the 35-year-old comedienne shared photos of her newborn baby on Instagram. Along with the snaps, she treated her followers to details of her baby boy. She wrote in the caption, "William 'Billy' Joseph Lunney Kennedy IV. 6 lbs 7 oz. June 9 2023. 5:10pm. hearts bursting. we love you so much."
Abby's exciting announcement quickly drew congratulatory remarks from her fellow celebrities.

Back in January 2023, Abby announced via Instagram that she was expecting her second child. At the time, she flaunted her growing baby bump through a mirror selfie. Along with the snap, she simply teased, "Baby Boy." She added a blue heart emoji, and went on to write, "We can't wait to meet you in June."
In addition to baby Billy, Abby has had a daughter, Edith Pepper Kennedy, with her husband, whom she married back in 2016. She welcomed Edith in October 2020 after struggling with infertility. She had talked about her IVF experience during a TV interview with Kelly Clarkson.
"The hormones are very intense, and so many people go through this and we don't talk about it enough, I think, as women. We need to raise more understanding and awareness," the comedienne candidly shared at the time.
Abby further discussed her experience with IVF treatments through an Instagram post after the interview. She wrote, "Thank you for having me @kellyclarksonshow. I got to eat lobster, be Meryl Streep, talk @nbcindebted and going through IVF treatments."
"This is an emotionally difficult process but in my case talking about it and hearing other peoples stories has made me feel less alone," she continued. "To anyone going through infertility, you are so strong."
