They only revealed they were expecting when she showed off her prominent baby bump at a premiere last month.

And just seven weeks after unveiling the exciting news, Tom Hardy and his wife Charlotte Riley have welcomed their first child together.

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.

Charlotte showed off her bump for the first time at the premiere of Tom's latest movie, Legend, at the beginning of September.

The 33-year-old was pictured walking the blue carpet with her man at London's Leicester Square as she showed off her blossoming shape in a black lycra maxi dress.

The couple had kept their big news under wraps until the premiere, with the excited pair last seen at the beginning of October as they strolled around London hand in hand.

...NOW GET ONE LIKE IT

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.

Tom previously credited his role as a father to son Louis with saving him from a life of addiction.

He told Metro: '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.

Under wraps: The couple had kept their big news a secret until the premiere, with the excited pair last seen at the beginning of October as they strolled around London hand in hand

'And then doing rather well at something, enjoying my character work, but it not being a huge amount of money.'

He told Britain's Hello! magazine: 'Being a father has given me the kind of purpose that makes you think more carefully about how you live your life.

'I made a lot of mistakes and I put my mum and dad through a lot because they were so worried about me.

'I take great pride in being a father and make sure I'm there for him and helping him as he makes his way in the world.'

Dad again: 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

Long-term love: Tom, 38, married Charlotte, 33, in July 2014 after the pair starting a relationship following their meeting on the set of Wuthering Heights in 2009
