Steve Martin has changed diapers on screen, but for the first time the beloved Hollywood actor known for his comic wit, banjo playing and well-written prose is a dad in real life, according to the New York Post.
Martin, 67, and his wife, Anne Stringfield, 41, reportedly had the baby in December and have kept their bundle of joy a secret for two months (Lindsay Lohan you can learn from this).
Martin is active on Twitter but he has yet to send any photos of his child into the Twittersphere. The child’s sex and name are unknown.
“They’ve had a baby, and how they kept it a secret nobody knows,” an unnamed source told the Post. “Steve’s very private. They are thrilled. They worked hard to have the baby.”
Stringfield, a journalist and former staffer at The New Yorker, is Martin’s second wife. The two married in a surprise ceremony in 2007. Martin was married to his first wife, actress Victoria Tennant, from 1986 until 1994; the two never had children together.
Of course, the issue with this news is going to be Steve Martin’s age. While 60 might be the new 50, he is on the older side for fatherhood. Is 67 too old to start having kids?
Steve Martin might be a first-time dad, but he has played family man for many years on the Hollywood screen. Take a look at a few of his best dad roles.
