First Photos: Read what Bill & Hilary said about new grand daughter as they show her to the world
The political scion has welcomed a baby girl with husband Marc Mezvinsky, the new mom sharing the happy news tonight on social media.
"Marc and I are full of love, awe and gratitude as we celebrate the birth of our daughter,Charlotte Clinton Mezvinsky," Chelsea tweeted and posted to Facebook.
"We are thrilled to be with our daughter and her husband as they welcome their daughter into the world," her parents, former President Bill Clinton and Former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said. "Chelsea is well and glowing. Marc is bursting with pride. Charlotte's life is off to a good start."
Chelsea and her husband of five years managed to keep the sex of their baby a secret till labor day, though the hcild's excited then-future granddad couldn't help but get folks wondering when he referred to a potential "grandson" the other day, followed quickly by "or granddaughter."
"I'm proud of my son-in-law and my daughter for not wanting to know [the sex]," he added, speaking to George Stephanopoulos during the 2014 Clinton Global Initiative in NYC.
New grandmother Hillary also retweeted the birth announcement, as did her husband, who had said he hoped to be a granddad by "the first of October."
And so he is!

Bill and Hillary Clinton are grandparents. The couple's daughter, Chelsea Clinton, has given birth to her first child, a daughter named Charlotte.
Chelsea Clinton, the daughter of the former president and ex-secretary of state, announced the baby's birth on Twitter and Facebook early Saturday, saying she and husband Marc Mezvinsky are "full of love, awe and gratitude as we celebrate the birth of our daughter, Charlotte Clinton Mezvinsky."
Clinton spokesman Kamyl Bazbaz said the child was born on Friday but did not immediately provide additional details. The couple lives in New York City. The Clintons quickly retweeted their daughter's message on Twitter but did not immediately comment on the baby's arrival.
The baby arrives as Hillary Clinton deliberates on whether to seek the White House in 2016, a decision that could put her on a path to becoming the nation's first female president. Clinton is the leading Democratic contender to succeed President Barack Obama, her former 2008 campaign rival, and has said she expects to make a decision around the beginning of next year.
The baby has been eagerly anticipated as Hillary Clinton considers her political future — she has called the prospect of becoming a grandmother her "most exciting title yet." She even has picked out the first book she intends to read to her grandchild, the classic "Goodnight Moon."
She has said she didn't want to make any decisions about another campaign until the baby's arrival, pointing to her interest in enjoying becoming a grandmother for the first time. If Clinton decides to run for president, her campaign would coincide with the baby's first two years.
The former president has been eager to become a grandfather. During an event with former President George W. Bush in September, Mr. Clinton's cell phone rang on stage and he joked that only two people had the number "and they are related to me," musing that he hoped he wasn't becoming "a premature grandfather."
Congratulations to them!
