Notting Hill and Love Actually actor Hugh Grant and his girlfriend Anna Eberstein have welcomed their third child together, Hugh's fifth in total.

The couple, who like to keep their family life private, haven't actually confirmed the news themselves, it was Hugh's ex-girlfriend Elizabeth Hurley that let the news slip.

Elizabeth appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen and was asked if she found it surprising that Hugh has fathered four children in seven years.

Responding to the question, Elizabeth said, "He had another one last week. He has five. He was over 50 when he spawned them all. He's an enchanting dad. Really, really sweet."

Joking about her ex-boyfriend's personality, The Royals actress then added, "Having these kids has transformed him from a very miserable person into a fairly miserable person, It's improved him. He's gone up the scale."

Hugh and Anna, who is a Swedish TV producer, have been dating on and off for seven years and already have a two-year-old daughter, whose name isn't known, and a five-year-old son named John.

The couple are yet to reveal any details about their new arrival, including the baby's gender or name.

Hugh and Anna announced they were expecting their third child together when they appeared hand-in-hand at the Golden Globe Awards back in January, where Anna sported a baby bump on the red carpet.

Anna's mother, who is a Swedish politician, also seemed to confirm the news at the time. Speaking to one of the country's tabloids, she appeared to confirm the pregnancy and gender of the unborn baby, saying, “I’m very happy to be getting another grandchild. She’s due rather soon.”

The new arrival is Hugh's fifth child in just seven years. He previously had a child with former girlfriend Tinglan Hong in 2011, then with his current girlfriend, Anna, before going back to Tinglan who gave birth to his son Felix. He then reunited with Anna who gave birth to the couple's youngest child, a little girl two years ago.

Congratulations to the couple! 👶
