The Victorious and Paradise Run alum, 30, shared the news on her Instagram feed on Sunday, September 29.
To announce the news, Monet simply shared a close-up photo of her newborn son — whose name she revealed as Gio James Gardner, tagging his own Instagram account — snoozing while resting against his mama, wearing an all-gray knit outfit and beanie.
“And just like that, you are our everything,” Monet captioned the post.
The new mom did not share any other details, including a date of birth.
The couple, who got engaged in December 2017, first announced Monet’s pregnancy in April, telling PEOPLE that it only took them one try to conceive, as she had been tracking her ovulation.
They were so excited about the news that Monet joked Gardner would have started putting their baby’s room together immediately after they received the sex-reveal envelope from the doctor.
“He thinks he’s going to start working on the nursery tomorrow. I had to hide the envelope from him!” she told PEOPLE at the time, explaining that they wanted to wait until mid-May to open it.
Last week, Monet told PEOPLE that she was “planning a natural, unmedicated birth” and had “looked forward to giving birth this way for as long as I can remember” — though “I understand that plans can change, but I’m doing my best to manifest a beautiful experience regardless.”
Showing off her son’s nursery in photos to PEOPLE, Monet said that while the room was ready for its new resident, she and Gardner were equally ready to meet their first child together.
“I’m looking forward to seeing his face and touching his little toes and hands,” she says. “Andrew and I both feel like the moment we see him will feel emotionally overwhelming. It’s still so surreal that we created a little being who we get to create so many memories with.”
The actor also explained the meaningful decision of their child’s moniker, saying they knew it was meant to be. “We fell in love with the name Gio right off the bat,” Monet said.
“Andrew’s nickname was G as a kid, his grandpa goes by Gee and Giovanni happens to be my brother’s middle name,” she added. “He’s a Gio, we just knew it.”
Actors, including Monet's former Victorious co-stars Victoria Justice and Elizabeth Gillies, as well as Kaley Cuoco and YouTube star Colleen Ballinger were among those to congratulate Monet in the comments.
"Single most perfect baby I've ever seen," Gillies wrote.
Monet is known for playing Trina Vega on the Nickelodeon series Victorious. She also served as the host of the network's hit game show Paradise Run, and starred in the live-action adaptations of Nickelodeon's hit animated series Fairly OddParents. She most recently appeared in the network's show Cousins for Life.

"LEGO® Jurassic World: Legend Of Isla Nublar," Brand-New Animated Mini-Series, Set To Premiere Saturday, Sept. 14, At 11:30 A.M. (ET/PT) On Nickelodeon
Share it: @Nickelodeon @LEGO @JurassicWorld
UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif., Aug. 21, 2019 -- Universal Brand Development (Universal), the LEGO Group and Nickelodeon have announced the all-new, animated mini-series, LEGO® Jurassic World: Legend of Isla Nublar, will debut Saturday, Sept. 14, at 11:30 a.m. (ET/PT) on Nickelodeon in the U.S. The 13-episode CG-animated mini-series, taking place before the events of 2015's blockbuster Jurassic World film, will continue to premiere Saturdays at 11:30 a.m. (ET/PT) on Nickelodeon.
Set in 2012, newly hired animal behaviourist, Owen Grady, and Assistant Manager of Park Operations, Claire Dearing (characters played in the films by Chris Pratt (Parks and Recreation) and Bryce Dallas Howard, respectively, though both are voiced by different actors for this animated series) team up on Isla Nublar to deal with everything the Jurassic World park throws their way, including runaway dinosaurs, ongoing construction to expand the park, throngs of tourists, unpredictable tropical weather and an impulsive boss!
In LEGO Jurassic World: Legend of Isla Nublar, there's also a mysterious saboteur with surprising ties to the park's past who is on a quest to find a legendary treasure and destroy Jurassic World forever. What could possibly go wrong? Well…everything.
A prequel to the brand-new mini-series, LEGO Jurassic World: The Secret Exhibit Part 1 and Part 2, will be available on the Nick App and VOD beginning Sunday, Aug. 25. In The Secret Exhibit, Simon Masrani has an idea for a new attraction that is guaranteed to keep Jurassic World at the forefront of theme park entertainment, but in order for it to succeed, he needs his right-hand can-do problem solver, Claire Dearing, and newcomer Owen Grady, to get a trio of dinosaurs across the park to the new, super-secret exhibit. Unfortunately, delivering the dinosaurs to the new attraction is not as easy as they thought! LEGO Jurassic World: The Secret Exhibit is currently airing on Nickelodeon, with Part 2 premiering Saturday, August 24 at 11:30 a.m. (ET/PT).
Beginning, Sunday Aug. 25, a sneak peek episode, "Mission Critical," will be available for fans to watch on the Nick App, Nick On Demand and Nickelodeon's YouTube channel.
Building sets inspired by LEGO Jurassic World: Legend of Isla Nublar are currently available at retail globally, including Dilophosaurus on the Loose (75934), Baryonyx Face-Off: The Treasure Hunt (75935), Triceratops Rampage (75937) and T. rex vs Dino-Mech Battle (75938).

Prince George's William Kuklis is bringing bad guy Dennis Nedry to life
CBC News · Posted: Sep 29, 2019 8:22 PM PT | Last Updated: September 30

The dinosaurs are back and William Kuklis is somewhat responsible.
Kuklis, an actor from Prince George, B.C., is the voice of antagonist Dennis Nedry in the animated mini-series LEGO Jurassic World: Legend of Isla Nublar, which debuted on Nickelodeon Sept. 14. The series is set in an island theme park filled with dinosaurs created from prehistoric DNA that audiences first saw in the 1993 blockbuster film Jurassic Park.
Nedry, portrayed by Wayne Knight in the original film, is a computer programmer who accepts bribes to smuggle dinosaur embryos off the island. His meddling leads to several dinosaurs escaping which understandably becomes a bit of a safety risk for other characters.
"You don't want to do a total copy, but you also want to have some of the flavours of the original," said Kuklis about stepping into Knight's role.
Notorious bad guy Dennis Nedry was played by actor Wayne Knight [Catscratch, Tak & the Power of Juju, Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness, The Penguins of Madagascar, Seinfeld, 3rd Rock from the Sun, Hot in Cleveland] in the 1993 blockbuster live-action film Jurassic Park. (IMDB)
Kuklis is still having a hard time believing he is a part of the Jurassic franchise family.
"I was thinking of me and 50,000 other people auditioning for this part — there is no way I'm getting it," said Kuklis in an interview with CBC's Daybreak North.
But get it he did. And soon he will have his own plastic plaything to prove it.
The characters in the cartoon series are all depicted as Lego figurines, which Kuklis said should hit store shelves soon.
"Lego anything is insane," said Kuklis, who is the father of two kids. "I am going to keep it up high, away from the children."
The 13-episode mini-series will continue to air Saturday mornings at 11:30 a.m. PT on Nickelodeon.

William Kuklis is a singer-songwriter based out of Prince George, but he's also a voice actor who can be heard Saturday mornings playing the character of Dennis Nedry — first brought to the screen by Wayne Knight — in a new Lego animated miniseries set in the Jurassic World. 7:03
The much anticipated Nickelodeon family festival Nickelodeon NickFest Nigeria 2019 has come and gone as children and parents were treated to an incredible entertainment-filled experience at this third edition which was held at Federal Palace, Balmoral Event Centre on Saturday 28th and Sunday 29th September, 2019!
Patoranking delivering a showstopping performance at NickFest.
The two-day event hosted by Mannie Essien and Amarachi Uyanne, popularly known as Amarachi Dance, featured some of Nickelodeon’s superstar characters live on stage.
These characters included SpongeBob SquarePants, Adventure Bay’s intrepid pups, Skye, Rubble Marshall and Chase from PAW Patrol, to everyone’s favourite genies, Shimmer and Shine, as well for the first time performing in Nigeria, The Rise of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Moreso, an exciting bill of performers such as Teni the entertainer, FireBoy, Rema & Patoranking took to the stage and entertained children and parents with some of their family-friendly songs which of course had the whole venue in an endless sing-along.
Teni with one of the kids at the event.
Celebrity guests such as Davido’s daughter Imade, Tiwa Savage’s Son, Jamil, Noble Igwe, Wizkid’s son, Boluwatife, IK Osakioduwa and a host of others got slimed several times over.
Kids and their parents at NickFest
Speaking at the venue of the event, Alex Okosi, Executive Vice President (EVP) and Managing Director (MD) VIMN Africa & BET International, the operator of Nickelodeon said: “We are indeed grateful that our family-centric TV entertainment content was transformed to an event experience that has brought joy and entertainment to families.
“We have had an incredible show of support from parents and kids year after year and Nickfest in Nigeria continues to gain more fans.
Rema dazzles the crowd at NickFest.
“At VIMN Africa, we appreciate the valued support from our partner Maltina and the associate sponsors Cadbury and DStv as well as the support from Cussons Baby for their joint effort in making this year’s NickFest another success.”
With over 6,000 children and parents in attendance, the venue was transformed into a beautifully lit wonderland with a relaxing ambience created by the Nickelodeon traditional bright orange colour.
The glamour of the event is one of the reasons why it cannot be forgotten in a hurry.
A new subscription-based online TV service has quietly launched in the United States.
Named Vidgo, the introductory priced $14.99 service, which is available across all connected devices, features live access to more than 48 channels, including Viacom's Nickelodeon, NickToons, TeenNick, TV Land, MTV, MTV2, MTV Classic, BET, CMT, CMT Music, Comedy Central, Paramount Network, as well as A&E, American Heroes, Animal Planet, Aspire, beIN Sports, Cheddar, Cooking Channel, Curiosity Stream, Destination America, Discovery Channel, Discovery Family, Discovery Life, DIY, FYI, Game Show Network, Hallmark, Hallmark Drama, HGTV, History, Investigation Discovery, Inspiration, Law & Crime, Lifetime, Lifetime Movies, Motor Trend, Motorsports Network, Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN), Pac 12 Network, Science Channel, Stadium, TLC, Travel Channel, Viceland, VH1, Velocity and UP, among others.
Strangely, the channel line-up doesn't include Nick Jr., Nickelodeon's top-rated channel for preschoolers, however, TeenNick is listed twice, so this could just be a mistake.
Viewers can use Vidgo to watch television on up to 3 devices at any one time.
Besides the new National English Package, Vidgo also offers packages aimed at Spanish-speaking viewers. There's the Latino Streaming Plan which offers 20 channels for $14.99 per month. While those looking for more content can go with the Latino Mas Streaming Plan, priced at $24.99 per month, however, this package doesn't include any Viacom channels at this time. VIDGO Latino Mas also gives free access to sports channel DAZN.
Based in Atlanta, Vidgo recently inked a partnership with Kiswe Mobile to better track mobile audiences as well as gather “strategic resources” to help it deliver live and social streaming of sports, entertainment, family and Latino programming.
The whole point of Vidgo is a no-problem service therefore getting started is fairly easy.
As this is a service that's been a long time in development, the app support at launch is wide. Vidgo can be downloaded on Android smartphones and tablets, as well as on Android TV. Vidgo is also available on iOS devices, Amazon Fire TV and watchable via the Chrome and Firefox browsers.
Vidgo becomes the latest live TV streaming service to arrive boasting an ultra-low monthly price. At $14.99 per month, Vidgo is directly up against the likes of AT&T's WatchTV and Philo. WatchTV also costs $15 per month but provides access to 41 channels. In contrast, Philo ups the price to $20 per month but also the channel lineup to 58.
Vidgo first announced its intention to launch a prepaid streaming service back at CES 2016. Since then, the service has slowly evolved into being. At first, Vidgo offered international packages before requesting beta testers for the U.S. version of the service. Now, rather quietly, the service has launched in the U.S.
The quietness of the launch is likely indicative of this still being a service in the early stages of deployment. Therefore, although pricing and the channel lineup are announced, they might be subject to change over the coming weeks and months. For example, the advertised number of channels is currently higher than the actual number of channels on offer.
Vidgo joins a crowded market looking to compete and sustain the traditional pay-TV business model online. Competitors include Dish Network’s Sling TV, Sony PlayStation Vue, AT&T TV Now, Netflix, YouTube TV, Sony Crackle and Shout! Factory TV, among others. There's also ad-supported video-on-demand (AVOD) services, such as Viacom's Pluto TV.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012), the first TMNT series spearheaded by Nickelodeon following Viacom acquiring the complete rights of the iconic franchise in 2009, is still a favorite among fans young and old. The series, the first 3D CG-animated TMNT series, ran for 124 episodes over five seasons, telling the crime-fighting exploits of the legendary Heroes in a Half Shell - Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello and Michelangelo. However, Athena Portillo, who worked on the series, has revealed that producers had originally wanted to wrap the series after only four seasons!
Speaking during a roundtable interview, Portillo (Star Wars Resistance) revealed: "I used to work on [Nickelodeon's 2012 version of] Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. And we were planning to wrap it up at Season 4. And then [Nickelodeon was] like, 'No, no, you're getting Season 5.' We're like, 'No!" So we had to do these like Tales of the TMNT," he recalled. "We were [hoping] we don't have to keep going [on Resistance]. Because it's really nice to have the opportunity to say this is the story to tell."
Season five of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ended up being an anthology series entitled Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which followed the Turtles through a variety of action-packed and bizarre adventures that have never been seen before, capturing seven distinct stories from the hero brothers’ past and future, including their early days in New York City, encounters with villains and friends, and a peek into their distant, but wild future. Throughout the season, fans saw both new and familiar friends and foes as each tale unfolded. The season also paid homage to legendary Universal monsters such as the Mummy, Dracula, the Werewolf, and Dr. Frankenstein, in which the Heroes in a Half Shell faced-off against some of their most nightmare-ist foes yet.
Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which aired in 2017, was the final season of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012) before Nickelodeon relaunched the franchise in 2018 with it's latest iteration, Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which is currently airing on Nick channels globally. A series has been renewed for a second season, and a Rise of the TMNT movie is currently in production for Netflix.
The latest manifestation of the show finds the four turtle brothers discovering new powers and hidden realms as they fight villains on the streets of New York City. While Rise holds onto aspects of earlier shows that fans of the Ninja Turtles love—big action scenes, cool lingo and strong brotherhood—it also brings to light a more youthful side of the half-shell heroes.

Er macht Popmusik, sagt er, dabei kann man ihn auch mit gutem Gefühl einen Rapper nennen. Aber einen mit Mops statt Bulldogge. Ein Familien-Papa aus Berlin Schöneweide, der gerne lacht und andere zum Lachen bringt. Seine Songs gehen ins Ohr und wenn man im Publikum steht, dann ertappt man sich dabei, kurz an das Gute im Leben zu glauben.
Kein Wunder also, dass er mittlerweile auch ein gefragter Songwriter ist, ganze Serien mit seinen Liedern ausstattet und als „Stammgast“ bei den Kids Choice Awards und Moderator des Nickelodeon „Slimefest“ lieber in grünem Schleim als in Dirty Sprite badet.
Was ihn antreibt ist ein gutes Gefühl, dass ihm seit seinem sechsten Lebensjahr nicht mehr loslässt: Die Liebe zur Musik. Ob als Schlagerkind, Musical-Sänger oder eben Rapper: Falk-Arne Goßler, wie der Berliner gebürtig heißt, ist musikalisch so vielseitig wie seine „Karriere“.
Sieben Jahre lang war er Frontmann der IndieRap-Band „The Love Bülow“, die sich unter anderem als Vorband der Band „Silbermond“ und mit Auftritten in TV-Formaten wie „Inas Nacht“, „TV Total“ und dem „Bundesvision Songcontest“ einen Namen machte.
Seit 2015 heißt es: Jetzt kommt Fargo! 2016 erschien seine Debut Single „Einfach Sein“ und im Jahr darauf das Album „Wunderbares Jahr“. Und mit „Gutes Gefühl“ erreicht er nun seinen bisherigen Höhepunkt.
„Der Song ist eine Ode an die innere Stimme in jedem von uns“, so Fargo, „egal was uns antreibt, Sport, Technik oder eben Musik, wer sich traut dieser Stimme zu folgen, wird am Ende einen Weg zum Glücklichsein finden“, sagt er und liefert selbst das beste Beispiel dafür. „Ich bin an einem Punkt in meinem Leben angekommen, an dem ich ausschließlich das machen kann, was ich liebe. Auch wenn das nicht immer bedeutet, dass ich selbst derjenige bin, der im Mittelpunkt steht. Man muss offen bleiben für die Gelegenheiten, die das Leben einem bietet.“
Zum Glück hat er sich und seinem Team um Produzent Christian Neander, Mixer Kiko Masbaum und Songwriter Niko Stegmiller endlich auch mal wieder die Freiheit genommen an sich zu denken und seinem Künstlerego „Fargo“ die Chance gegeben, diese Botschaft mit einer sagenhaften Musikalität auf den Punkt zu bringen: „Und du brauchst nur ein gutes Gefühl dabei, wenn du liebst, was du machst, kommt der Rest schon von ganz allein!“
WHOA! Are The Thundermans & Henry Danger in a Secret Society? 🤐 #FactOrFanFiction
The Thundermans might seem like a straightforward, hilariously entertaining superhero show… but did you ever think about how they fit in to the Nickelodeon universe? Dig deeper and the shocking truth is hard to ignore. Peel back the layers with us as we dive into the mystery they DON’T want you to solve – the mystery that connects the Thundermans to a secret society!!!. Did Nick miss anything? Be sure to meticulously watch every episode of The Thundermans on Nickelodeon, just in case.
Middle School Moguls is a series of four half-hour, CG-animated specials that chronicle the ambitions of four new friends striving to create their own companies while attending Mogul Academy, an entrepreneurial school where kid-business dreams come true. Middle School Moguls will continue to air every Sunday in September at 11 a.m. (ET/PT) on Nickelodeon USA.
Each special will look at life inside the exclusive Mogul Academy through the eyes of first-year students and moguls-in-training: Valeria, a budding sports gear innovator, voiced by Olympic gold medalist Laurie Hernandez; Winnie, an aspiring pet chef, voiced by Daniella Perkins (Knight Squad); Celeste, a smart-tech inventor, voiced by Jade Pettyjohn (School of Rock, Henry Danger, Rufus 2); and Yuna, an edgy fashion designer, voiced by Haley Tju (Bella and the Bulldogs). Together, the girls work to tackle grown-up challenges by thinking outside of the box and “mogulizing” to make their big dreams a reality.
Middle School Moguls also features guest voice actors including: fashion and television personality Tim Gunn (Project Runway) as Wren, a non-binary teacher in the Mogul Academy Fashion Branch; Jane Lynch (Glee, iCarly) as Victoria Steele, the Headmaster of Mogul Academy; Nickelodeon star and YouTube sensation JoJo Siwa as Josie, a communications mogul and head journalist for the school blog, The Daily Juice; Ricardo Hurtado (School of Rock) as Finn, a free-spirited athlete and fellow student; actor and YouTube star Alex Wassabi as Ethan, the girls’ comedic Resident Advisor; entrepreneur Kheris Rogers as Kheris, a budding beauty and fashion mogul; Nicole Sullivan (Black-ish, Wendell & Vinnie, King of Queens, Penguins of Madagascar) as sports Mogul Marci Stern, the head of the academy’s athletic branch; and Garcelle Beauvais and Sean Patrick Thomas as Winnie’s hardworking parents.

Amsterdam based designer Marlou Breuls today unveiled a colourful brand-new clothing collection inspired by Nickelodeon's hit animated series, SpongeBob SquarePants!
Update (9/18) - Nickelodeon will be showcasing their SpongeBob x Marlou Breuls collaboration as part of Brand Licensing Europe (BLE) 2019's “Fresh off the Runway” exhibit! Details below:
N1 Entrance: Viacom Nickelodeon
SpongeBob x Marlou Breuls: A unique, authentic and creative collaboration between fashion designer Marlou Breuls and “SpongeBob SquarePants” in a crafted, heritage and sustainable story.
“Fresh off the Runway” will see a jaw-dropping display of Fashion x Licensing collabs on super-styled mannequins in each of the show’s five visitor entrances, from N1 through N5, as well as a specially curated License Global edit on stand E200. Visit License Global for more info.
Original post continues below:
Unveiled today on a Bikini Bottom themed catwalk at Amsterdam Fashion Week 2019, the collection was created through Nickelodeon's partnership with Copyright Promotions Licensing Group (CPLG) and will form part of Nickelodeon International's SpongeBob Gold campaign to celebrate SpongeBob SquarePants' 20th anniversary.
The collection features apparel in all shapes and sizes, featuring the iconic colours of the characters in the show, allowing fans to easily recognise items inspired by SpongeBob and seven of his friends: Gary the Snail, Patrick Star, Squidward Tentacles, Sandy Cheeks, Plankton, Mr. Krabs, and Mrs. Puff.
For the collection, Nickelodeon gave Breuls a lot of creative freedom. Surprisingly, Breuls didn't watch a single episode of SpongeBob SquarePants to get inspiration for the collection, instead, she researched the characters and characteristics of SpongeBob and his friends. The line also reinterprets all the characters from SpongeBob SquarePants as female characters, where Breuls' expertise in clothing design lies, so its incredibly fitting that the line launched on International Women's Day 2019.
Breuls said that shes most proud of the outfit inspired by Gary. "Gary's look is a definition of my handwriting, but also shows the SpongeBob feeling very well. Everything comes together in that look. That took a lot of effort: I had to recreate the outfit four times. So there is a lot of pain and sorrow, but also love. I am very happy with the result. Yesterday I looked at different outfits besides their sketches and it is exactly as I intended it. In some cases it has become even better."
The line, titled Spongebob x Marlou, is expected to launch at retail later this year.
