According to E! News, Jonathan Rhys Meyers and his fiancée welcomed a beautiful baby boy into the world on December 15, 2016.

Choosing a strong and masculine name for the bouncing bundle of joy, the new parents settled upon the name Wolf Rhys Meyers.

It is reported that Mara gave birth to little Wolf in the comfort of the couple’s home where he was delivered by a midwife.

Congrats to the happy new parents!

News of the couple’s pregnancy was first reported by The Mirror in September but it wasn’t until mid-December that the couple officially announced the impending arrival of their baby with a series of stunning Instagram posts.

The first cute snap showed Mara sitting next to Santa comparing their considerable bumps.

Alongside the sweet shot, she mused, “#IncomingPackage best present. #ThankYouLord #SantaBelly”

In her second post, Mara shared a photo of herself lying on a netted hammock donning what she describes as her “official pregnancy dress”.

“I have worn this 1-2x a week every week for past 5 months. It was 3 euros in a charity shop in Ireland.”

Before uploading her final pic, another Christmas-themed snap, showing off her maternity style.

“Our other official prego wego dress,” she wrote, alongside the photo of herself standing next to a Christmas tree.

“Found in #Amsterdam #Noordermarkt for 15 euros. Every other day I dunno as I have other dresses but Baby likes these ones … is super conscious, connected & aware.”

She continued to share details of her pregnancy, admitting, “Has not let me eat much meat entire pregnancy either … has me thinking about things I’d rather live in ignorance to.”

Before concluding, “Angel alien baby about to rock my world I already know. I’m thankful for my soon to be best teacher and friend.”

Jonathan and Mara, who began dating in 2013 and were engaged the following year, had fans thinking they tied the knot earlier this year, after the actor’s partner changed her name on her Instagram profile to Mara & Toco Lane Rhys Meyers but any official announcement is yet to be made.

Congratulations to the new parents!
