Mahershala Ali and Wife Welcome Their Bundle of Joy!

Mahershala Ali is having all the moments – from 2016 on through the beginnings of 2017, the actor has many reasons to smile.

In addition to the success of his booming career and stocking up on award nominations and wins for films Moonlight and Hidden Figures, the Hollywood Reporter cover star is now father to a baby girl!
