Keira Knightley has welcomed her second child with husband James Righton.

The news about the actress was confirmed when she was spotted out and about in London with her husband James Righton and their newborn baby.

The 34-year-old was pictured by MailOnline on an afternoon stroll with her musician husband, who was seen pushing along a baby push chair.

The Love Actually star was no longer sporting the baby bump that she proudly displayed earlier this year, and was seen walking along with a dummy in her hand.

Choosing not to make an official announcement, the notoriously private Pirates of the Caribbean actress confirmed her pregnancy back in May when she debuted her baby bump while out and about in Paris.

Accompanied by her former Klaxons member husband, the mum-of-one attended a Chanel cocktail party in the France capital back at the start of summer, displaying her growing baby bump in flowing white and peach maxi dress.

The pair, who have been married since 2013, are also parents to four-year-old Edie.

Keira has previously opened up on motherhood, admitting that since having a child she often felt like she’s failing.

‘I don’t think we give women enough credit for the physical and emotional marathon they go through when becoming a mother,’ she said to Balance magazine.

‘I come from a place of amazing privilege. I have an incredible support system; I’ve been unbelievably lucky in my career; I can afford good childcare… and yet I still find it really difficult.

‘It’s OK to say that. It doesn’t mean I don’t love my kid, it’s just me admitting that the sleep deprivation, the hormonal changes, the shift in relationship with my partner, are all things that make me feel as if I’m failing on a daily basis. I have to remind myself that I haven’t failed, I’m just doing what I can do, but it’s not easy.’

Congrats to Keira and James!
