Huge congratulations to Jeff Goldblum, who welcomed his first child over the weekend.

And can you believe that the Independence Day star’s wife, Emilie Livingston, gave birth to their son on 4 July – that’s Independence Day!

What are the chances?!?!

Jeff, 62, announced the news on Facebook, saying: "We're so excited to share the wonderful news of the birth of our son, Charlie Ocean Goldblum, born on the 4th of July. Independence Day."

Charlie Ocean is Jeff’s first child, following his marriage to Emilie in November last year.

Jeff had a busy Fourth Of July this year – he also posted the first teaser trailer for upcoming movie, Independence Day: Resurgence.

Please tell us that Facebook post was scheduled, or Jeff had his people post it. We’re not sure Emilie would have liked him tinkering on his phone while she was in labour…
