Montgomery is already mother to son Jackson, 5, from a previous relationship with actor Adam Kaufman.

Violet's unique moniker is a continuation of a longstanding tradition in Montomery's family of naming daughters for flowers. The former "Without a Trace" actress' sisters are named Rosie Thorn, Daisy Yellow, Lily Belle and Marigold Sun.
