It’s a girl for ‘Scandal’ star Washington

LOS ANGELES

It’s a girl for Kerry Washington and retired NFL player Nnamdi Asomugha.

A birth certificate released Friday shows the couple’s daughter Isabelle, Amarachi Asomugha, was born about 5 p.m. April 21 in Los Angeles. The parents haven’t announced the baby publicly. Washington’s publicist, Amanda Silverman, said no statement was available.

Washington is the Emmy-nominated star of the ABC series “Scandal.” The show’s third season was cut short after the 37-year-old actress became pregnant. Asomugha, a former cornerback with the Oakland Raiders, Philadelphia Eagles and San Francisco 49ers, announced his retirement last year.

The birth was first reported Friday by celebrity website TMZ.
