Actors Emily Blunt and husband John Krasinski have welcomed a new addition to their family, a baby girl called Violet.

The Hollywood couple are already parents to two-year-old daughter Hazel who they welcomed in February 2014.

Krasinski, former star of the US version of The Office, took to Twitter to announce the happy news, and revealed that they welcomed their newborn daughter two weeks ago.

"What better way to celebrate the 4th… than to announce our 4th family member!!! 2 weeks ago we met our beautiful daughter Violet #Happy4th," he wrote.

Blunt had been busy working throughout her pregnancy, filming The Girl on the Train and doing a promotional tour for The Huntsman: Winter's War.

She was recently cast as Mary Poppins in the sequel to the 1964 Disney classic, following in the footsteps of the much-loved Julie Andrews.

The sequel will be released on Christmas Day in 2018, more than five decades after the musical fantasy film first played in cinemas.

Meanwhile, Krasinski is currently filming JJ Abrams' God Particle.
