The actor took to his Twitter account today, July 4, 2016 to announce the birth of their daughter, Violet, who they welcomed two weeks ago.

Krasinski tweeted:

“What better way to celebrate the 4th... than to announce our 4th family member!!!"

"2 weeks ago we met our beautiful daughter Violet #Happy4th.”

In January, Blunt's rep revealed that the actress was expecting her second child with her husband, after welcoming their first daughter, Hazel in 2014.

Speaking during an interview with C magazine back in March, the British actress spoke of her latest pregnancy, saying:

“The first pregnancy is the most self-indulgent thing in the world because you get massages and prenatal yoga and hypnotherapy CDs.

"During this one I forget that I’m even pregnant. I’m hoisting my 2-year-old around!”

Blunt and Krasinski got married in a romantic wedding ceremony in July 2010 after dating for two years.
