Friends, fans and fellow celebrities cheered on Trainor and congratulated her on her new addition in the comments. “Congratulations sis! So happy for you,” wrote Paris Hilton, a new mom herself. “Go Mama!! And welcome to the party, Barry!! What a lucky dude,” added Mandy Moore, who welcomed her second last winter.
