The actress and hubby Ben Affleck have welcomed a third child – a bouncing baby boy

Hollywood beauty Jennifer Garner and her actor hubby Ben Affleck have welcomed a son, according to reports.

PICS: THE GARNER-AFFLECK FAMILY ALBUM

It’s thought the couple welcomed their third child yesterday, after the actress gave birth in the US, but reps for the proud new parents have yet to officially comment.

Jen and Ben’s tiny new arrival will join their two girls - Violet, five-and-a-half, and two year old Seraphina,

The couple announced they were 'thrilled' to be expecting in August last year, but remained tight lipped on the sex of their new arrival.

Despite this, LA was abuzz with rumours the couple were expecting their first boy, with insiders revealing doting father Ben just couldn’t be more excited to welcome a 'little sports buddy'.

'He can't wait to take his son to baseball games and play catch with him,’ one told Life & Style at the time.

Meanwhile, coming from a family of girls, Jennifer’s was said to be slightly more nervous about the tiny male arrival.

'She feels like she won't know what to do,’ the source added. ‘She's close to her two sisters, and her instincts were spot-on with the girls. But she never had a brother and doesn't know the drill.'

We’re sure Jen will be just fine.

Congratulations to the happy family!
