Tom Hardy and wife, Charlotte Riley welcome first child together

Tom Hardy and wife, Charlotte Riley have welcomed their first child together.

The couple revealed they were expecting when Charlotte showed off her visible baby bump at a premier of Tom's latest movie, Legend, at the beginning of September. And just seven weeks after revealing the pregnancy news, the couple have welcomed their daughter.

The couple's new addition means Tom is a father for the second time, with the new baby having a half-brother in Louis, the actor's seven-year-old son from his relationship with ex-girlfriend Rachel Speed.

Tom, 38, married Charlotte in July 2014 after the pair starting a relationship following their meeting on the set of Wuthering Heights in 2009. The Hollywood star was also married to Sarah Ward from 1999-2004.

In an interview with Metro, Tom credited his role as a father to son Louis with saving him from a life of addiction.

"I had no idea how to handle the industry, to interact with producers, executive producers, studios… I was 24 – punching above my weight. And it’s taken being someone’s dad, being divorced, going to rehab, having mortgages, playing different characters, doing theatre, waiting and then it not happening. And then doing rather well at something, enjoying my character work, but it not being a huge amount of money."
