Sex and the City star Chris Noth has become a father for the first time.
Chris - who plays Sarah Jessica Parker's character Carrie's love interest, Mr. Big, in the hit TV series and upcoming film - and his long-term girlfriend Tara Wilson welcomed a baby boy into
the world in Los Angeles on Friday.
The happy couple have named their new arrival, who weighed a healthy 7lbs 10oz, Orion Christopher Noth.
A spokesman said: "I am happy to confirm that Chris Noth and Tara Wilson are the proud parents of a happy and healthy baby boy. Chris and Tara are thrilled and all are doing well."
"I'm thrilled for him. He's going to make a wonderful, wonderful father," 'Sex' co-star Sarah Jessica Parker told Entertainment Tonight.
The couple met five years ago when Tara started working in Chris' New York bar The Cutting Room.
The pair now own a teashop in Canada, called Once Upon A Cup, and can soon be seen acting alongside each other in independent film 'Frame Of Mind'.
Chris, who starred in criminal drama Law and Order: Criminal Intent from 2005 to 2007, can next be seen in Sex and the City: The Movie, due for release worldwide on May 30.
