The Cumber-baby has officially arrived!
Benedict Cumberbatch and wife Sophie Hunter welcomed their first child today. Reps for the actor shared the news in a statement issued to People magazine this morning:
"Benedict Cumberbatch and Sophie Hunter are delighted to announce the arrival of their beautiful son," the statement read. "We would kindly ask everyone to respect the family’s privacy during these next few precious weeks."
Cumberbatch and Hunter got engaged in November of last year, and rumors that she was carrying the British heartthrob's baby began to circulate shortly thereafter.
Hunted confirmed that she was pregnant in January, and Benedict and Sophie got married a month later on Valentine's Day.
The couple has yet to reveal any details about the baby, but sources say we can expect the announcement of a name and the release of the first photos sometime in the next week.
Naturally, Cumberbatch's legions of devoted female fans have already expressed their best wishes (and volunteered to babysit) on social media.
We'd like to add our voice to the chorus and offer our sincerest congrats to the first-time parents. Here's to another generation of British cool and reptilian good looks!
