Our favourite ever TV crossover couple, Leighton Meester and Adam Brody, have welcomed a baby boy! It's the second child for the pair who are also parents to four-year-old daughter Arlo Day.

The O.C. star Adam, 40, reportedly confirmed the happy news while recently appearing on a show hosted on live streaming video platform Twitch.

"Adam, you have a new baby?" he was asked by another show participant.

"I have a new – yeah, since last I played I have a new kid," the actor confirmed. "I have a boy and he's a dream, he's a dream boy."

The happy news comes after former Gossip Girl star Leighton, who wed Adam in 2014, gave a rare insight into the pair's relationship. Before it was cancelled earlier this year, Leighton starred as Angie in ABC's Single Parent and Adam played recurring character guest star Derek, who was Angie's ex boyfriend and also the father of her baby.

Speaking about getting to work alongside her husband, she told Entertainment Tonight: "He is the baby daddy. In real life and not real life. Sometimes I’ll be like, 'Oh yeah, I forgot I’m married to you.' But it’s been really nice having him here. He’s very much a part of the family."

Talking about similarities to his character, she added: "On the show, he’s such a little dummy and it’s very cute and he’s very handsome. And in real life that’s 98 percent not true. He’s mostly, totally, like a grown-up."

The pair have always been notoriously private when it comes to life behind closed doors, and Leighton recently told Refinery29: "I don’t talk about Arlo very much. I am very proud of that area of my life. But I’m also really proud of the show and the work I do. I think the perception is: You’re an ingenue or you’re an icon or you’re a mum. There’s no in-between."

Huge congratulations, Leighton and Adam!
