Actor couple Jamie Bell, 27, and Evan Rachel Wood, 25, have become parents to a baby boy.

The British star of Billy Elliott sent a tweet to his wife: "Wow! What a day. Evan you are my warrior! You never cease to amaze. Thank you for birthing our son so naturally and peacefully. You did it!"

Wood replied: "And you are mine. Thank you for being there and helping me through it. I love you both more than words can say."

She added: "It's a boy!! Song of the day Beautiful Boy #johnlennon."

The couple first dated in 2005 and split a year later before getting back together. They married in California last year and announced in January that they were expecting their first child.

Wood has earned Golden Globe and Emmy nominations for her role in US drama Mildred Pierce, and has appeared in The Wrestler, Thirteen and HBO's True Blood.

Bell has also acted in Peter Jackson's King Kong remake and The Adventures of Tintin: the Secret of the Unicorn.
