By Stig Editor Grimm Star Claire Coffee Announces Birth of Second Baby: “Our Hearts Just Doubled in Size”
June 23, 2025 – Portland, OR
Actress Claire Coffee, best known for her role as Adalind Schade in NBC’s cult-favorite fantasy drama Grimm, has officially welcomed her second child! The 44-year-old actress took to Instagram this morning to share the joyful news with fans, posting an adorable first photo of her newborn alongside a heartfelt caption.
“Our hearts just doubled in size 💛,” Coffee wrote. “Baby [name withheld] arrived safely and sweetly into our arms last week. We’re tired, overwhelmed, and completely in love.”
The photo shows a tiny hand gripping Claire’s finger, with her husband — musician and former Royal Teeth member Chris Thile — barely visible in the background, cradling their newest addition.
A Growing Family
The couple, who have been married since 2013, are already parents to 8-year-old son Calvin. Claire has spoken openly in the past about balancing motherhood with her career, often calling her family “the real magic” in her life.
In a recent interview with Parenthood & Beyond, conducted just weeks before the birth, Coffee revealed: “We didn’t plan on a big announcement. We just wanted to savor this journey quietly, with the people we love most. But now that they’re here — it feels right to share the joy.”
Fans of Grimm, which ended in 2017 but continues to thrive in syndication and streaming, flooded her post with congratulations and warm wishes.
“Adalind’s got a second little Hexenbaby!” one user joked.
“Wishing your family all the love and light, Claire — you were my favorite on Grimm, and now you’re my favorite mom on Instagram,” another fan commented.
What’s Next for Claire Coffee?
Though she’s taken a step back from television in recent years to focus on family life, Coffee has continued to act in select indie films and voiceover projects. Sources close to the actress say she plans to enjoy an extended maternity break but isn’t ruling out a return to TV — especially if the long-rumored Grimm spin-off or reboot takes off.
For now, though, Claire says she’s focused on “soaking in every late-night cuddle, every sleepy smile, and the wild beauty of starting all over again.”
Congratulations to Claire, Chris, Calvin, and the newest member of their
