Benedict Cumberbatch and Sophie Hunter Welcome Baby

Welcome to the world Baby Cumberbatch!

Let's cut right to the chase; Benedict's rep Karon Maskill released the following statement to Us Weekly:

"Benedict Cumberbatch and Sophie Hunter are delighted to announce the arrival of their beautiful son. We would kindly ask everyone to respect the family's privacy during these next few precious weeks."

As for twit pics or posts of little feet to Instagram, that's not likely to happen anytime soon. This is the couple who announced their engagement in the paper back in November.

Sophie and Benedict were last seen in public on May 20th, having a nice meander around North London. Either Sophie's ankles had swollen to such a capacity that her shoes weren't worth zipping up, that or she couldn't reach them. Been there.

One will wait for baited breath for your name, because it's bound to be magnificent.

Have you any suggestions for the bubby's name? I'm going with Barnaby. Barnaby Cumberbatch.
