She's a new mum who gave birth to a daughter named Isabelle in April.
So
Kerry Washington, 37, had a lot to chat about with talk show host Jimmy
Kimmel on Thursday, who himself just welcomed a daughter with wife
Molly McNearney.
During
an appearance to promote the new season of her political thriller
Scandal, Kerry discovered their baby girls have one major thing in
common - they are both named after their great grandmothers.
Bonding: Kerry Washington dropped by the Jimmy
Kimmel Live studios on Thursday and talked about daughter Isabelle and
the new series of Scandal
Kerry
revealed to Jimmy that she had heard he and wife Molly named
their daughter Jane after his grandmother and remarked 'Mine is too,'
referring to her own daughter
and granny, both called Isabelle.
Jimmy then joked: 'Your baby's name is Isabelle and mine is Jane. We should swap them and see if our families notice!'
Kerry
- who married Isabelle's father Nnamdi Asomugha earlier this year -
also thanked the chat show host for sending her some of her yummy
goodies while she was expecting back in February.
Doting parents: Kerry bonded with Jimmy over
their newborns. Both have baby daughters who were named after their
respective grandmothers
Laughs: Joker Jimmy had Kerry in stitches during their talk show chat
She
said: 'You did something very kind last time I came. There's nothing
more kind to do for a pregnant lady than [to give her] a box full of
frozen deliciousness. It was amazing!'
Kerry also had high praise for President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle, saying: 'He
and his amazing wife, they're just genuine, authentic, fantastic people
who are trying to do their best for the country. They're awesome!'
Jimmy
also complimented the brunette beauty on her post-baby glamour,
exclaiming: 'I can't believe you had a baby and you look like this!'
Adding: 'It's against the rules!'. A blushing Kerry responded: 'Aw, you're kind. You're such a good friend!'
The raven haired star looked gorgeous in a
pretty minidress in berry shades with cobalt blue pumps putting on a
leggy display as she left the studios after her appearance.
Teetering
on her glamourous satin heels, the new mother gave a wave to the
cameras with her long manicured tips beaming from ear to ear.
Leggy display: The 37-year-old actress looked
stunning in a pretty blue ensemble with satin heels showing off her long
slender legs
High spirits: The actress looked happy to be back to work and gave a cheerful wave to her fans and photographers
Looking
suitably coiffed for the afternoon of filming, the brunette beauty wore
her glossy locks with a curl in the front and some big flicks in the
back.
She
dressed up her daytime ensemble with dark make-up and a gloss of pink
lipstick, looking camera-ready as she stepped out of the studio with a
navy blue tote bag in tow.
The star arrived at the studio wearing a similarly feminine floral, but this time a longer, more demure red midi dress.
Kerry
flashed her ring finger as she gave a wave to her waiting fans on
entering the studio before being dolled up for her TV appearance.
Flower power: After having her first daughter only three months ago, the actress was back on the TV circuit promoting Scandal
Blooming lovely: Kerry gave her fans a big smile
as she wore a demure embroidered red dress as she was seen arriving at
The Jimmy Kimmel Show
She
pulled together a vintage look, which featured a red tapestry print and
a modest black leather shoulder bag, which she teamed with a classic
pair of Louboutins.
The
actress has just recently returned to work after giving birth to her
first daughter Isabelle with her husband, NFL player Nnamdi Asomugha.
Scandal, in which Washington features as
the lead female Olivia Pope, is a political thriller centered around the
White House in America and returns for the fourth season this August.
Serious politics: Kerry plays Olivia Pope, a
communications director who helps to fix the public image of the
authority figures at the White House
