Congratulations are in order for Eddie Redmayne and his wife, Hannah, who just welcomed their first child. Talk about a great Father's Day gift.

A representative for the Oscar-winning actor confirmed the news to The Huffington Post on Sunday.

The couple shared the announcement of their baby girl, Iris Mary Redmayne, in the U.K. newspaper The Times, People reports. According to the announcement, Iris was born on Wednesday, June 15.

The duo confirmed the pregnancy in January at the Golden Globe Awards after Ryan Seacrest commented that they were expecting. Then, at the Oscars, Eddie told People they were keeping the baby's sex a secret until they were in the delivery room.

"We just bought our first baby book. So there’s the first step," he said. "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.”

Eddie and Hannah started dating in January 2012 and got married in December 2014 at the Babington House in Somerset, England.
