The 56-year-old actor and wife Ashley, 40, welcomed daughter Quinn Sophie into the world at 12.39pm on Friday and the little girl weighed in at 7lbs 9oz and measured 22in long.

The couple - who also have a son, Jax, two - told People magazine: 'Our second miracle has arrived and she is perfect.'

Tom announced in June he and Ashley were expecting a daughter.

He posted a picture of his son holding an ultrasound picture on twitter and wrote: 'Jax is very excited, but also a bit confused with the happy news he will have a little sister this fall #grateful (sic)'

The True Lies actor - who has been married three times before, including to comic Rosanne Barr - has previously been open about his struggles to father a child because of his low sperm count.

He previously said: 'One day at the hospital I saw a sign asking for sperm donors and it paid $35. I was psyched because, unlike blood, I believed I could donate this stuff three times a day.

'Fortunately, they give you a test first and the doctor informed me that I didn't have many "swimmers."'

However, despite his problems, the star believes having Jax was fate.

Announcing Ashley's pregnancy in 2013, he said: 'I've tried with other people, but since there is a God we were unable to conceive. Now God said, "This is it!"'
