Spanish actress Penélope Cruz has welcomed her first child, a baby boy, after giving birth in Los Angeles.
The 36-year-old first-time mum and husband Javier Bardem are said to be overjoyed with the arrival of their son who was born at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles, the UK’s Daily Mail reported.
“Both parents and baby are doing great,” Penélope’s representative said of the birth.
It was a case of double happiness for 41-year-old Javier Bardem who also found he’d been nominated for an Oscar for best actor for his role in Biutiful.
If he wins, we can expect a similar public tribute to his wife as he made when accepting the best actor award at the Cannes Film Festival in 2010.
“I share this joy with my friend, my companion, my love: Penélope: I owe you a lot and I love you so much,” he said.
The notoriously private pair have not yet announced the name of their child.
