It looks like parenthood agrees with actor Tobey Maguire and fiancée Jennifer Meyer, if these first photos of the couple with new daughter Ruby Sweetheart are any indication. The Seabiscuit actor and Meyer, a successful jewelry designer, recently celebrated their first Christmas Eve with their 8-week-old at a Beverly Hills park.

“This is truly the best time of my life,” Meyer, 29, recently told USA Today. “I’m walking on air. I’m getting married, and starting a family.”

“It’s completely indescribable,” Maguire, 31, said of fatherhood during an appearance on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno on December 15.

Why the name Ruby Sweetheart?
“Jen’s grandmother, who passed away recently, would always call her ‘Sweetheart,’” Maguire explained to Jay Leno. “We named her that to honor her grandmother.” As for Ruby? “We just like the name.”

What’s Tobey like as a dad?
“He’s having the best time with Jen, taking care of the baby,” says a friend. And Sam Raimi, director of Spider-Man 3 (out May 4), tells Us, “I know Tobey to be a perfectionist, and very in touch with his emotions. He’ll be the most sensitive, loving father.”

What did Tobey think of the birthing process?
“Nobody really coached me on it,” Maguire told Leno. “They say, ‘OK, catch her!’ I’m like, ‘What do I do?’ I ended up just kind of putting my hand on her while the doctor put her on Mom’s belly.”

What do their friends say?
“They’re the coolest parents,” a Maguire pal tells Us. “They’re the first of all their friends to have a baby, and the friends are eating it up.”

Will they marry soon?
Engaged since April, the pair actually “wanted to get married before the baby was born,” says a family friend. “But they couldn’t get it together in time.”
