Los Angeles has been home to something of a celeb baby boom this week! Not only did Victoria Beckham give birth to Harper Seven there last weekend but actress Kate Hudson also had a baby boy in the Californian city on Saturday.

The baby whose name is yet to be disclosed is said to be healthy and weighed in at 7lbs 12oz. 32-year-old Hudson already has a 7-year-old son Ryder from her previous marriage to Black Crowes rocker Chris Robinson, but this is her first child with Muse frontman Matt Bellamy.

The happy couple met at the Coachella festival last year and whilst the pregnancy might have come as something of a surprise, it certainly seemed to be a welcome one. Music-news.com reported that Hudson was bursting with excitement at the prospect. She said: ‘I'm really excited. I'm not in a rush, I don't have nerves, I'm so excited to have another baby, for our family, we are all really happy, so I can't wait.’

The couple have requested that friends mark the arrival of their bundle of joy by using the Barcham Trees website to plant ‘celebration trees’ in the newborn’s honour. All together now, ‘Awww!’
