Selling the OC’s newest cast member, Ashtyn Zerboni, is a new mom!
The luxury real estate agent revealed exclusively to Us Weekly that she welcomed a daughter, Juliette Jolie, with husband Jeffrey Zerboni on Tuesday, July 22. She also shared a photo of herself snuggling Juliette as Jeffrey stood next to her hospital bed.
“There are moments in life that change you forever — and for me, meeting our daughter for the first time was one of them. On the beautiful summer evening of July 22 [at] 7:45 p.m. Jeffrey and I welcomed our baby girl into the world: Juliette Jolie Zerboni. She weighed 6 pounds and 9 ounces,” Ashtyn shared with Us.
Ashtyn said it was “a special process” choosing her baby girl’s name.
“We wanted something soft and elegant, something that felt like her — even before we knew her,” she explained. “Juliette was inspired by Jeffrey’s roots — he was born in Nice, France, and we both loved the timeless romantic beauty of the name. Her middle name, Jolie, means ‘pretty’ in French, and it just felt so natural and fitting for the little girl we’d been dreaming of.”
Ashtyn added, “But perhaps the most touching part of Juliette’s name is the nickname that Jeffrey plans to call her: ‘Jo.’ It’s a sweet tribute to his late father, Joseph, who recently passed away. Carrying his name forward in this quiet, powerful way ensures that his memory will always be woven into the fabric of Juliette’s life.”
Ashtyn said that everyone in Jeffrey’s family has a “J” name, so monogrammed “JZ” hand-me-downs are plentiful and will “work perfectly” for their new addition.
“Jeffrey and I are completely smitten,” she said. “We spent our day just staring at her little face, soaking in the tiniest expressions and moments. She’s brought so much love and light into our lives — more than we ever imagined possible.”
Ashtyn has had a busy few weeks, as she was recently cast in Netflix’s Selling the OC, which follows the Oppenheim Group’s Orange County real estate agents. “The secret’s out… I’m one of the newest cast members on Selling the OC Season 4,” she shared via Instagram on July 14.
The former model and actress has “a passion for high fashion, photography and the arts,” according to Netflix’s Tudum and is known “for her commitment to personalized service and leveraging her thriving social network to unlock exclusive opportunities for her clients.”
In addition to returning cast members Jason Oppenheim, Alex Hall, Polly Brindle, Tyler Stanaland, Gio Helou, Austin Victoria, and Brandi Marshall, Ashtyn and two other agents — Fiona Belle and Kaylee Ricciardi — will be joining the Orange County office when season 4 premieres on November 12.
“It’s been exciting, surreal and definitely a whirlwind. But through all of that, nothing compares to the love I feel holding our baby girl,” Ashtyn told Us. “So here we are — a new baby, a new chapter and a heart fuller than I ever thought mine could be. Juliette Jolie Zerboni is sure to grow up surrounded by a whole lot of love — and a little bit of Hollywood sparkle.”
