Gemma Arterton has revealed that she's welcomed her first child with husband Rory Keenan.

The actress — who has appeared in St Trinian's 2: The Legend of Fritton's Gold, The King's Man, and the James Bond film Quantum of Solace — actually gave birth late last year, shortly after announcing her pregnancy.

Arterton broke the news of her son's birth during an appearance on BBC Radio 2's The Zoe Ball Breakfast on 8 February.

"I just had a baby. We are very, very happy," she shared. "He was born just before Christmas — a little Christmas elf."

Later appearing on This Morning, Arterton opened up about what it's been like in the seven weeks since her son was born. She said she's "totally smitten" and loves being a mother, then joked that she wishes she could get a little more sleep (via Yahoo News UK).

Last year didn't just see the couple welcome a baby. Keenan, who has starred in Peaky Blinders, War & Peace and Somewhere Boy, also directed Arterton in his debut short film. Titled Bump, it followed a pregnant woman. Fitting!

Congratulations, Gemma and Rory!
