Keri Russell reveals gender and name of new baby during interview

Keri Russell appeared on the "Today" show Friday, where the notoriously private actress spilled some details on her newborn with boyfriend Matthew Rhys!

Russell gave birth late last month to her third child -- her first with her "The Americans" co-star -- though she hadn't revealed the gender or the little one's name. But the 40-year-old actress shared both with "Today" co-host Matt Lauer.

"We had a baby boy," Russell smiled, adding that his name is Sam. "He's so good. He's big and fat and nice."

When asked how Rhys is doing, Russell replied, "So well."

This is the first child for Rhys, 41, while Russell is already a mom to River, 8, and Willa, 4, with her ex-husband, Shane Deary. The two separated in 2013 after seven years of marriage.

Earlier this month, Russell stunned on the Tony Awards red carpet, her first public appearance since giving birth just weeks earlier. Russell boldly rocked a plunging, cherry-red Monique Lhuillier v-neck gown.
