Cate Blachett has opened up about adopting a child with her husband of 17 years, Andrew Upton.

The couple recently welcomed a daughter, Edith Vivian Patricia Upton, to their family.

Edith joins Blanchett and Upton's sons Dashiell, 13, Roman, 10 and Ignatius, 6.

The Cinderella star told Sky News about their daughter: "Fourth time around - it's extraordinary.

"There's a lot of children out there who don't have the good fortune like our biological children, so it's wonderful. It's wonderful to welcome a little girl into our fold."

She added of the latest addition to their family:  "We're besotted."
