She told Elle UK, in an article published on Wednesday, that she has had a son and showed them a picture of the newborn.

Gerwig said: “He’s a little Schmoo. I don’t know if you can tell energy from the picture, but that’s very much his energy. He’s a wise little baby.”

She had announced on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in December that she was pregnant.

After meeting on the set of 2010 comedy-drama Greenberg, Gerwig and Baumbach have continued to collaborate together by co-writing on Frances Ha, Mistress America and most recently the live action Barbie film.

The hotly anticipated film, coming to Irish cinemas on Friday, stars Margot Robbie as the pink-loving title character alongside Ryan Gosling as Ken.

Gerwig is also known for her directorial debut on 2017’s coming-of-age drama Lady Bird, starring Saoirse Ronan, for which she earned two Academy Award nominations for best director and best original screenplay.
