Keira Knightley has finally revealed her baby’s name, three months after the little girl was born.

The Pirates of the Caribbean star has remained tight-lipped about her daughter’s name since giving birth, but she has told the new issue of Elle her baby is called Edie.

Opening up about the joys and pitfalls of motherhood – including coping with lack of sleep – Knightley talks candidly about her new life caring for a little one.

“The love thing is astonishing. It’s a very primal, primal love. That’s quite extraordinary,” Knightley told Elle.

“And the ability to have no sleep and continue going. It’s not pleasant – I never thought that I could actually do it for the amount of time that I’ve done it.”

The actress also spoke candidly to the magazine about celebrating her 30th birthday pregnant and sober, with her husband, James Righton throwing her a small party.

And that post baby body?

“I have to say, as a woman, you hate certain parts of your body. You go through those periods where you look in the mirror and you think, ‘Oh, if only I had different legs or arms or whatever,'” said Knightley.

“You go through pregnancy and labor and then feeding the kid and you go, ‘Wow, my body is totally amazing, and I’m never going to not like it again, because it did this, and this is f–king extraordinary.'”
