Jaime Pressly has given birth to twin boys.

The 40-year-old actress took to Instagram on Monday (23.10.17) to reveal she and her longtime boyfriend Hamzi Hijazi have become the proud parents of twin boys named Leo and Lenon, who were born earlier this month on October 16.

Posting an adorable snap of her two little ones on the photo sharing app, Jaime wrote: "They're here! Introducing our new additions, Leo and Lenon, born October 16th. #DoubleTrouble (sic)"

Meanwhile, the 'My Name Is Earl' actress - who is already a mother to 10-year-old Dezi James, whom she has with ex Eric Calvo - previously said she was "completely shocked" to discover she was carrying twins.

She said: "Twins don't run on either side of our families so we were completely shocked. This wasn't IVF or anything like that. It was just a shock, and I'm like, 'Doctor, that's impossible!'"

At the time, the 'Mom' star also revealed that she and Hijazi had been trying "for quite a while" to start a family together and that having two tots on the way felt as though "God [was] cutting [her] some slack".

Jaime readily admitted she was getting worried her biological clock was ticking down, and she couldn't be happier to be adding to her family.

She added: "I've always wanted three kids and the older I'm getting, I'm like, 'OK, maybe just one more would be nice.' I was getting a little sad, but it was like, 'We'll give you two in one. You don't have to do another pregnancy.'"

The 'Not Another Teen Movie' actress also previously said her son Dezi was excited to meet his new younger brothers.

She said earlier this year: "He's been begging Hamzi and I to give him a sibling since he was in kindergarten. He's very patient and sweet and gentle and is going to be the best little babysitter ever. He's constantly kissing my belly ... I'm 10 years older than I was the last time [I was pregnant], so the pregnancy is completely different. They've been doing like, river dance on my uterus! I'm excited to do this 10 years later when I'm older and wiser and more calm. It's going to be a totally different experience, but a great one. I'm so excited for it!"
