Alyssa Milanois revealing howBeyoncéwas the deciding factor in choosing her daughter’s birthdate.
TheSorry Not Sorryauthor, 48, talks about motherhood on PEOPLE’s newMe Becoming Mompodcast, sharing the unconventional way she landed on which day to welcome her daughterElizabella Dylan, now 7, to the world.
The actress, who also shares sonMilo Thomas, 10, with husband David Bugliari, explains that while she wasn’t supposed to “labor at all” with Bella as she had a planned Cesarean section, her daughter ended up coming “five weeks early.”
“My doctor, whom I love so much, said to me, ‘I think we’re gonna take her. The question is, are we gonna go — it was like 11:30 at night — or should we wait until after midnight?’ " Milano recalls. “And [my best friend] Alaa looked up whose birthdays were on the 3rd and the 4th. And he was like, ‘Beyoncé’s birthday is on the 4th! Wait until after midnight.’ "
“So we picked her birthday,” she continues. “We had a choice between September 3rd and 4th and because Beyoncé’s birthday is the 4th, Alaa’s like, ‘Yep! We’re in. The 4th.’ "
