Tom Hardy and his actress wife Charlotte Riley have reportedly welcomed their second child together. New reports today reveal that 41-year-old Tom and 37-year-old Charlotte welcomed a baby boy into the world last month, but the pair wanted to keep the news quiet with close family and friends.

The reports also suggest that the couple, who married in July 2014, have named their son Forrest after Tom's favourite character in the film Forrest Gump.

Cute! 👶

An insider close to the couple told The Sun, "The couple are over the moon with the new addition to the family. Friends are already saying that the baby boy looks exactly like Tom."

They added, "They’ve been laying low over the festive period so they can get used to having a busier household and adjusting to the needs of a newborn. They love the name Forrest as it’s earthy and strong. Tom has always found the movie Forrest Gump very inspiring and enjoyable and thinks it fits."

Tom and Charlotte, who like to keep their relationship and family life very private, first got engaged in 2010, before later getting married in 2014.

The couple then welcomed their first child one year later in 2015, but they've decided to keep both the name and gender a secret.
