Keira Knightley has given birth to her first child with her musician husband James Righton, according to reports.

The 30-year-old actress and the Klaxons singer are said to have welcomed their baby into the world today, sources told E! Online.

The Pride and Prejudice star's agent was not immediately available for comment when contacted by the Standard.

The couple, who married in France in May 2013, have appeared at several red carpet events recently, with Knightley showing off her bump.

She previously admitted she was feeling relaxed about becoming a mother despite struggling to come up with a "whole birthing plan."

She said: "There isn't an option to sort of keep it in, is there? So, I'm assuming my plan is to get it out. But apparently there's more to the plan than that. I don't know what that is. Still, my plan is to get it out. It will come out."

The Oscar-nominee also joked her husband was enjoying "drinking for two" while she was pregnant.

Speaking about how she's using her pregnancy as an excuse to make him attend awards season parties with her, she said: "I'm [telling him], 'You have to come with me, support me!

"There's a lot of free champagne [at events], so he thinks because I'm not drinking, he has two. I'm eating for two and he's drinking for two."
