Actress Carey Mulligan has welcomed her third child with her musician husband Marcus Mumford.
In an interview with Vogue magazine for its November cover story, the Promising Young Woman star, 38, revealed she had given birth.
Mulligan already shares a daughter, Evelyn, and son, Wilfred, with her 36-year-old musician husband Mumford. The couple married in 2012.
Finding hidden music in a role has long been a theme of Carey Mulligan's career—but never more so than in "Maestro." https://t.co/IDglYzkv15 pic.twitter.com/XmnaymEZ3j

In the article, the interviewer noted that Mulligan entered "a London coffee shop with a bemused gesture at the yellow diaper-leak stain streaked across her blouse".
While carrying the infant, Mulligan then said to her baby: "I'm going to change you, and then we're going to find Mum another shirt."
Mulligan has starred in a host of critically acclaimed films including Emerald Fennell's Promising Young Woman, which earned her an Oscar nomination; Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby and 2022's She Said, which saw her play one of the New York Times reporters that exposed Harvey Weinstein's abuse of women.
Mulligan's latest project, Maestro, sees her portray actress Felicia Montealegre, the wife of esteemed conductor and composer Leonard Bernstein, who is played by Bradley Cooper.
Reflecting on her life with Mumford, who is the lead singer of folk band Mumford & Sons, she said: "It's very normal."
She added that it consists of "school runs, Sunday lunches" but admitted that their careers can cause some "tricky logistics".
Mulligan, who keeps out of the limelight aside from her movies, also revealed that she feels her life is like travelling in the Doctor Who Tardis at times.
She said: "Most days I'm just me, I don't feel famous when I'm out in the country, most of my friends aren't in the industry, I have this nice, very regular life.
"And then every once in a while I step into a magic phone box, and - whoosh - I come out the other side in a designer gown and there are lights flashing everywhere."
Maestro also features a parallel set-up to Mulligan's life, in that it has an actress wife and a musician husband at its core.
However, Mulligan feels it was "different" for Montealegre, as "everything revolved around Lenny".
"There was a lot of 'What if?' with her character…. What if she hadn't given up acting?" she added.
"When I listened to tapes of her being interviewed, it seemed like she wasn't sure how far she'd have gone - that she felt like, maybe she didn't have it in her to be great. But on the other hand, she never got the chance to find out."
Mulligan feels the movie is not a biopic, but more of a story about a "very complicated marriage".
The full interview is available in Vogue.
Maestro arrives in selected cinemas on 22 November and reaches Netflix on 20 December.
