"Both mom and baby are health and the entire family is thrilled," the rep told the magazine.

The baby is 36-year-old Witherspoon's first child with husband Jim Toth. She had two children, Ava, 13, and Deacon, 8, with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe.

The actress initially remained quiet about her pregnancy, but then made public appearances with her baby bump at the Cannes Film Festival and out and about in Los Angeles.

Maybe they'll call him TJ. I'm sure it will be shortened somehow.

Jim & Reese,

Congratulations on your new addition to your family. DONT WORRY ABOUT ALL THE CRITICS...It's a beautiful name for a lovely boy.

What a stupid name for a kid.

[formerlyluvnut]

Kinda like "luvnut".

I wonder what's wrong with Jim Toth.

Tennessee Toth? Seriously I really thought she had a better handle on things than to saddle a kid with another ridiculous Hollywood name. She just lost a few points.

I'm sure she'll be devasted when she finds out that she "lost a few points".
