"They are happy and healthy and it's quite lovely," confirmed the actor's publicist, without offering explanation for the name.
This is the second child for Oscar winner Nicolas, who has a teenage son from a previous relationship with actress Kristina Fulton, but the first for his 21-year-old wife, whom he met early last year when she was working as a waitress at a sushi restaurant.
The couple tied the knot a few months later, in June 2004. The Family Man himself has been married twice before – or three times if you count the fact that he married and divorced actress Patricia Arquette twice. His other wife was Elvis' daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, whom he divorced shortly before wedding Alice Kim.
Adding to his family seems to have galvanised the 41-year-old's already prolific career: he currently has ten films either announced or underway, and will be hitting UK screens next week as an arms dealer in the action thriller, Lord Of War. |
