Director Greta Gerwig and her writer-husband Noah Baumbach have silently welcomed their second child, a baby boy. The arrival of the director-writer couple's newest addition to the family was revealed in an Elle UK profile of the Little Women filmmaker.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, apart from the new born, the couple also has a four-year-old son, Harold, while Baumbach has a 13-year-old son, Rohmer, from his previous marriage.

During the interview on Elle UK, the personal journeys as well as the professional and creative challenges of Gerwig were discussed, with her first talking about her new baby in the context of reflecting on where she is currently, in life.

"I'm about to be 40," she told the magazine. "And there's something about that where you're like: Oh! I'm properly middle-aged now. All parts of life feel extremely activated."

Gushing about her kid, she said: "He's a little Schmoo. That's very much his energy. He's a wise little baby. The little guy is sleeping through the night. But I'm still doing that thing where I wake up, every hour to 90 minutes, and just hover. You just keep wanting to look at that baby."

The interview with the magazine marks the first time that Gerwig or Baumbach have discussed the birth of their second son as they have mostly been secretive about the subject.
