Adam Driver secretly welcomed his second child into the world earlier this year, it has been reported.

The House of Gucci star, 40, reportedly let slip his wife Joanne Tucker had given birth to a baby girl during his rehearsal for Saturday Night Live this past weekend.

The pair, who met in the noughties, have been married for 10 years. This is their second child.

During his opening monologue take, sources told Page Six the Marriage Story actor revealed: ‘Last year, I asked for a baby girl, and I got it, which is exhausting.

‘So this year, I wish for Ambien!’ he joked, referring to the prescription sleep medicine.

The Star Wars actor and his longtime spouse, The Report actor, 41, also kept their first child – a little baby boy – a secret for two years.

However, Joanne’s sister revealed the actress was a mum when she made her Instagram account public in 2018, which revealed pregnancy pictures from the pair’s joint baby shower and a reference to her and Joanne as ‘new moms’.

But there wasn’t a squeak about parenthood from the pair themselves, until Adam publicly confirmed he had become a dad for the first time while hosting Saturday Night Live in 2020.

He joked, again during his opening monologue on the show: ‘I’m a husband. And a father. It’s in that order though. I’ve been very clear with my son about that, he’s second in everything.’

Adam has also made a number of references to parenthood in interviews over the years.

The marine-turned-actor also told W magazine in 2017 he didn’t think he could ‘love anything more’ than his dog, except ‘maybe’ his child.

He said: ‘Like, I have a kid, maybe, and be like, (gestures dismissively.) But the dog!’

Adam and Joanne met at The Juilliard School in the early 2000s and the actor has hailed his partner for helping him ‘remain a normal person’ amid the ‘Hollywood craziness’.

He has said: “She’ll persuade me to go and see old friends, even if I’m not really feeling like it.

‘Having a person like that in your life is far more important than a successful career.’
