Alison Sweeney Welcomes Daughter Megan Hope

Tags: Births, Top News
Stefanie Keenan/Wireimage

It’s a girl for Biggest Loser host Alison Sweeney! Megan Hope Sanov arrived at 11:48 p.m. on Monday, January 12th, Alison’s rep confirms. Megan weighed in at 6 lbs., 7 oz and was eight days early — Alison had been due January 20th. Her rep shared,

“Alison’s still in hair and makeup from her day on the set! It was a very easy delivery, and everybody is great. Both mommy and baby – and daddy, too – are doing well.”

Earlier in the week, Alison blogged that she was trying to prepare for the birth after “a firm conversation [from my doctor] about how second children very frequently come quicker and earlier than first.” However, “even with nine months to think about it, it isn’t really real to me yet. Ben seems way better prepared for his baby sister than Dave and I are!”

The Days of Our Lives star and husband Dave Sanov announced the pregnancy in June. Megan joins big brother Benjamin Edward, 3 ½.

  8. phoebe Says:

    Nice name and a normal name, sounds great with ben. Congrats to her, having a son and a daughter, how wonderful.

  11. Irish Says:

    Congrats to the whole family, been watching DOOL for years and have always found it amazing how someone so sweet can play such a different character then herself. Sign of a great actress. Love the name (finally a “normal” name in Hollywood). She also does a great job on “Biggest Loser” hope she continues with that show.

  12. ellen Says:

    very beutiful name, megan is actually one of my favorites. congrats!

  13. Sara Says:

  16. angelica Says:

    congrats ali,love the name and hope everything is alright and love your shows.
    congrats again

  17. Stephany Says:

    I was expecting something simple and “normal” with her brother being named Ben. It’s not one of my favorite names in the world (I’ve known too many Megan’s that I disliked…) but it fits! It goes great with Ben. Congrats to them!

  18. TONI Says:

    Congrats to all. A daughter is a beautiful thing.

  19. shellie Says:

    I love the name it fits well congrats to you and your family may it be a joyful ride for all parties :)

  20. Megan Says:

    Little creepy, I’m Megan Hope and I was 6lbs 7 oz

  21. Anita Says:

    Congrats to Alison. I looove the name Megan. My best friend in elementary school was a Megan and the name brings back such great memories for me.

    Allison at 1:36 commented that she was surprised that Alison had picked such a common name. I thought I read somewhere that she had planned on it, that she didn’t go for the unusual names popping up in Hollywood. Am I thinking about someone else?

  22. Carolyn Says:

    Congrats on your new baby girl. Blessings to your new little girl and your whole family.

  23. christine Says:

    congrats, i’ve been a big fan of hers for a longtime and i’m happy to see she is doing well.

  24. meghan Says:

    lol irish – i always think the same thing regarding her real-life personality versus the one on DOOL.

    she has given both her children very “normal” names. i prefer a bit more flair (as i have the same ever so common name)!

  25. Jennifer Says:

    Alison, Dave and Ben…Congratulations! Megan Hope is a beautiful name. Best of luck to you all!

  71. Diana Says:

    CONGRATS!!! I am glad for everyone in the Sanov family to be healthy. Give out the cigars!

    I can’t wait to see you getting out of the Witness Protection program asap. I think that Nicole will be given your baby after you give birth and send to the convent.
    It will upset you greatly. I hope NOT!

    I have enjoyed watching you on The Biggest Loser program.

    Hi Alison!

    I love the name Hope so much that when I was young and foolish, I wished for triplets to name Faith, Hope and Joy. Ended up with two single girls named Dawn and Starr between two boys so had my hands full.

    Best of everything to you and your family–been watching DAYS since before you were born!

    Oops!

    Forget to mention that Dawn was born on Jan. 11th — 43 years ago!

    Congratulations Alison, Dave and Ben! I’m sure Megan Hope has brought so much joy to your lives. Best wishes for the future.
    Ali, you’ve always been my favorite character on Days. My grandmother and mom watched Days, so I’ve watched since I was born. I fervently hope you resume the character of Sami after you’ve had enough maternity leave. The show won’t be the same without you.

  187. Kari-Rae Hartl Says:

    I love watching you on Days as well as Biggest Loser, I DVR and watch both faithfully. Your a very strong woman for working right up to the deliver date.
    I have a 3 year old daughter; her name is Kassandra Ruth!
    Well enjoy your newest family edition.
    take care,
    Sandy

  190. carolyn Says:

    Hey, as a long time “DAYS” fan, and mom of six, just wanted to offer my congrats on your baby. Keep up the great work as Sami, (my 5 year old daughter’s name too)! You are the reason I wathh DAYS.

  191. KATHYLEEN Says:

    CONGRADS ON THE NEW BABY. LOVE THE NAME.

  192. Sharee Says:

    Congrats Alison. Megan Hope is such a beautiful name. Enjoy her. Having a girl is so much fun.

  193. Vicki Says:

    Alison—Just wanted to Congrat you on your new addition to the family. What was so ironic about it all, was that during my devoted watching segment of Days, my husband is actually becoming addicted. He looks over at me and says…I think she’s really pregnant, her boobs look a lot bigger than usual and her face is glowing. Then when I just read the news and told him that he was right about it, he says “see, i can always tell if a woman’s pregnant…..they glow”. So sometimes that makes me wonder if women really watch other women as much as men do?? LOL……Congratulations Alison!!! Keep up the good work!!

  194. Jenny Says:

    Congrats to the whole family, been watching DOOL since it started om 1965 and have always found it amazing how someone so sweet can play such a different character then herself. Sign of a great actress. She also does a great job on “Biggest Loser” hope she continues with that show. Megan Hope is a pretty name and she is so sweet. Congrats to all…
