Theo James and wife Ruth Kearney have welcomed their first child, it has been claimed.
The Divergent actor, 36, and Primeval star, 32, are thought to have started a family together, three years after getting married.
According to E! News, an insider close to the couple confirmed they have become parents for the first time.
No details on the newborn’s name or sex have been shared.
However, the lovebirds are notoriously private about their love life, and decided not to announce news of their pregnancy.
So fans might be waiting a while for more information on the little one.

The pair first met at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre, and reportedly started dating in 2009.
They took things to the next level nine years later, getting married in 2018.
Theo’s acting career began in 2010, when he popped up in one episode of drama Downton Abbey, but his breakout role came as James in The Inbetweeners Movie, love rival of Simon Cooper (Joe Thomas).
He later took on the leading role in the Divergent franchise, starring opposite Shailene Woodley.
The star recently made headlines when he confirmed his exit from drama Sanditon, as he loved just how his character’s journey ended.

‘Although I relished playing Sidney, for me, I’ve always maintained that his journey concluded as I wanted it to,’ he said in a statement.
‘The broken fairy-tale like ending between Charlotte and Sidney is different, unique and so interesting to me and I wish the cast and crew of Sanditon every success with future series.’
Ruth is best known for her stint in Primeval, appearing as Jess Parker in season four and five of the sci-fi series.
She also gained a huge following thanks to Netflix comedy Flaked, with Will Arnett, with fans calling out for a third series of the show.
Metro.co.uk has contacted reps for Theo and Ruth for a comment.
