The couple's rep said in a statement, "Katherine, Josh and Naleigh are together and doing well."

Katherine and Josh adopted the adorable 10 month old Naleigh from South Korea. Baby Naleigh was named after Katherine's mother, Nancy and her sister Margaret Leigh, who was also adopted from Korea.

She revealed: "It's been a big part of my life and my family. My sister is Korean and my parents adopted her back in the 70s and so I just always knew that this is something I wanted to do. I just wanted to make sure that I was marrying a guy who understands that this was going to have to happen. Not everybody is down with that, not everybody thinks that."

According to reports Katherine and Josh have been waiting in anticipation for this new little child since late last year.

"Katie and Josh were aware it could take years, so they were being patient. They are thrilled to have a child in their lives, no matter what the challenges."

Speaking to Ellen Degeneres, Katherine said, "About a year ago is when we said, 'OK, let's start the process,' and the process is intense."

Congrats to the new parents and we are happy that the adoption process is over and that baby Naleigh is safely home with them.
