Riley Keough and her 34-year-old husband Ben Smith-Petersen have welcomed a second child.
The baby was first spied in the 36-year-old actress’ arms in late August in images shared by Daily Mail.
Now her rep has confirmed to PageSix on Wednesday morning that the Daisy Jones & The Six star has indeed added to her family.
Riley and Ben already have a three-year-old daughter named Tupelo who was born via surrogate.
The actress and her husband, who is a stuntman hailing from Australia, met around 2012 during the filming of Mad Max: Fury Road, in which Riley starred as Capable, one of the five slave wives of the villain Immortan Joe.
Riley and Ben got engaged in 2014, and they tied the knot in February of the following year in a ceremony held in Napa, California.

The couple welcomed their first child, Tupelo, in August of 2022, but her birth wasn’t revealed until the following January, when Riley mentioned her daughter in her moving eulogy to her late mother Lisa Marie Presley.
A year after Tupelo’s birth, Riley admitted that the little girl was born via surrogate, which she chose to pursue after having been diagnosed with Lyme disease.
Although she clarified that she ‘can carry children,’ she hoped that having a surrogate carry her child would prevent the possibility of any autoimmune complications.
‘I think it’s a very cool, selfless, and incredible act that these women do to help other people,’ she said in a Vanity Fair profile.
‘I can carry children, but it felt like the best choice for what I had going on physically with the autoimmune stuff.’
When she’s not promoting her films, Riley and her husband tend to keep a low profile, and they are rarely spotted in public with their daughter.
