Wilmer Valderrama and Amanda Pacheco's couple's catchphrase, "It's just us now," now includes a little one, as they welcomed a daughter in February 2021. They made the announcement via coordinated Instagram posts. "Life is an ever evolving journey, and for all those times when our path needs a light.. often angels are sent to show us the way and that we can be more.. straight out of heaven we welcome our first daughter," Valderrama's caption read.
A month later, the new parents revealed what they had named their daughter: Nakano Oceana Valderrama. Pacheco explained the significance of her unusual name in an Instagram post, writing, "Her name reminds me of the beautiful journey her father and I took that ultimately led us to have this extraordinary human in our arms today."
The couple explained the meaning behind Nakano's name in a little more detail in an interview with People. Valderrama said that they named her after a legendary female samurai, Takeko Nakano, because they wanted a fierce moniker for their little girl. It was also inspired by the couple's personal connection to the country of Japan, which they were visiting when they realized that they were in it for the long haul. "Nakano became something that felt strong, felt unique, felt different," Valderrama said, adding that the name was a way to "commemorate that trip to Japan with our first labor of love."
