Redmayne and his wife decided to keep the baby’s gender a surprise, he told PEOPLE at the Oscars earlier this year.

‘I’m excited,’ he said at the time of being a first-time father. ‘But I don’t think it’s sunk in yet. We just bought our first baby book. So there’s the first step. We’re waiting to find out [the sex]. We want to be surprised. It will be a big surprise either way! I figure part of it I’ll get from the book and part will be just instinct.’
