The Cumberbaby has arrived! This is the first child for actor Benedict Cumberbatch and his wife, Sophie Hunter.
I really thought he should have won the Oscar for his portrayal of Alan Turing in The Imitation Game. But, Benedict Cumberbatch won big time over the weekend.
Just a day after Benedict, 38, was honoured by Queen Elizabeth II for his charitable contributions and work in the performing arts, the actor and his wife, actress/director Sophie Hunter, welcomed a baby boy!
On Saturday evening (June 13), a spokesperson for the couple shared that they are "delighted to announce the arrival of their beautiful son."

Congrats to the family!
