Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz have reportedly welcomed their first child together.

Weisz announced the pregnancy in an interview with the New York Times in April. “Daniel and I are so happy. We’re going to have a little human. We can’t wait to meet him or her. It’s all such a mystery,” she said at the time.

Appearing on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert just after the announcement, Weisz joked that her then-unborn child would have to be “bilingual.” Both she and Craig are British, but since they spend half their time in New York, the kid will have to know that an elevator is also a lift, how to convert to and from the metric system, and so on.

Married since 2011, Craig, 50, and Weisz, 48, are each parents to one other child apiece from previous relationships; Weisz and her former fiancé Darren Aronofsky, who directed her in The Fountain, share son Henry, and Craig and his ex-wife Fiona London have a daughter, Ella.

Professionally, both stars have high-profile projects coming up. Weisz stars with Emma Stone and Olivia Colman in the upcoming The Favourite, directed by Yorgos Lanthimos, with whom she previously worked on The Lobster. And Craig is due to reprise his role as James Bond in the untitled 25th 007 movie, despite director Danny Boyle recently leaving the project.

Since neither Weisz nor Craig is on social media, we may have to wait a while for an update on their new baby. But for now it sounds like everyone is doing well, and we are so happy for them! Congrats to the whole family.
