(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Miranda Kerr and Orlando Bloom have welcomed their first child a baby boy.

The model and actor have been married for six months, having tied the knot at a low-profile ceremony in July. They had been dating for three years.

In August, Miranda, 27, confirmed she was pregnant after rumours persisted this was the reason the pair had decided on marriage.

And now they have started their own family following the news that she had gone into labour in Los Angeles, according to X17 Online.

Before todays good news, there was a false alarm that Miranda was ready to give birth on Boxing Day.

The Victorias Secret star will be thrilled by the arrival of the newborn. In the past, she has never hidden her desire to have children with hunky Orlando. I have always been very open about wanting to be a mother one day. And Ive always thought Orlando would be a great dad, she said. I've always wanted kids, so someday, eventually, yes, it will happen.
