Ocean's Eleven actor Casey Affleck and his actress wife Summer Phoenix are celebrating the birth of their second child, a baby boy. Ben Affleck's younger brother announced the new addition to their family on his website although other details including the name of the baby are yet to be released. The new baby joins older brother Indiana August who was born in May 2004.

The Hollywood couple were introduced to each other by 29-year-old Summer's brother, and Casey's close friend, Joaquin Phoenix. After dating for six years, they got engaged over the Christmas holidays in 2003 and went on to tie the knot in Georgia in June 2006.

This new arrival comes at a high point in Casey's acting career. His Hollywood profile has risen dramatically in the last six months thanks to a Golden Globe nod for his supporting role opposite Brad Pitt in The Assassination of Jesse James. The 32-year-old actor also won the Breakthrough Actor of the Year award at the Hollywood Film Festival in October last year.
